newaliases(1) -- Linux man page
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/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/aliases
-
The mail aliases file
SEE ALSO
aliases(5), sendmail(8)
HISTORY

command appeared in 4.0BSD.
