[-f file] |
The newaliases
utility makes changes to
the mail aliases file visible to
smtpd(8). It should be run
every time the aliases(5)
file is changed. The location of the alias file is defined in
smtpd.conf(5), and
defaults to /etc/mail/aliases.
The options are as follows:
-f
fileIf using database (db) files, newaliases
is equivalent to running
makemap(8) as follows:
# makemap -t aliases /etc/mail/aliases
If using plain text files, newaliases
is
equivalent to running
smtpctl(8) as follows:
# smtpctl update table aliases
The newaliases
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
The newaliases
command first appeared in
OpenBSD 4.6 as a replacement for the equivalent
command shipped with sendmail.
