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)
