newaliases (ADMN)

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
