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
  aliases(5), sendmail(8)
