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
