newaliases(1)

NAME
       newaliases  -  rebuild  the data base for the mail aliases
       file

SYNOPSIS
       newaliases

DESCRIPTION
       Newaliases rebuilds the random access data  base  for  the
       mail  aliases file /etc/mail/aliases.  It must be run each
       time this file is changed in order for the change to  take
       effect.

       Newaliases is identical to ``sendmail -bi''.

       The  newaliases  utility  exits 0 on success, and >0 if an
       error occurs.

       Notice: do not use makemap  to  create  the  aliases  data
       base,  because  newaliases  puts  a special token into the
       data base that is required by sendmail.

FILES
       /etc/mail/aliases   The mail aliases file

SEE ALSO
