NEWALIASES(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual 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)
HISTORY The newaliases command appeared in 4.0BSD.
