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.
