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)
HISTORY¶
The
newaliases command appeared in 4.0BSD.
