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)
