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”.
Notice: do
not use
makemap(8) to create the aliases data base, because
newaliases puts a special token into the data base
that is required by
sendmail(8).
FILES
- /etc/mail/aliases
- The mail aliases file
EXIT STATUS
The newaliases utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
