NEWALIASES(1)           FreeBSD General Commands Manual          NEWALIASES(1)

NAME

     newaliases - rebuild the data base for the sendmail 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
