Provided by: qmail_1.06-6.2~deb10u1build0.18.04.1_amd64 bug

NAME
       qmail-newu - prepare address assignments for qmail-lspawn


SYNOPSIS
       qmail-newu


DESCRIPTION
       qmail-newu    reads    the    assignments   in   /var/lib/qmail/users/assign   and   writes   them   into
       /var/lib/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format suited for quick access by qmail-lspawn.

       If there is a problem with users/assign, qmail-newu complains and leaves users/cdb alone.

       qmail-newu ensures that users/cdb is updated atomically, so qmail-lspawn never has to wait for qmail-newu
       to  finish.   However,  qmail-newu  makes  no  attempt  to  protect  against  two simultaneous updates of
       users/cdb.

       The binary users/cdb format is portable across machines.
