NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       newaliases - rebuild the data base for the mail aliases file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       newaliases

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
