NAME
       newaliases -- rebuild mail aliases

SYNOPSIS
       newaliases [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
       The  newaliases	utility	makes changes to the mail aliases file visible
       to smtpd(8).  It	should be  run	every  time  the  aliases(5)  file  is
       changed.	  The  location	of the alias file is defined in	smtpd.conf(5),
       and defaults to /usr/local/etc/mail/aliases.

       The options are as follows:

       -f file
	       Use file	as the configuration  file,  instead  of  the  default
	       /usr/local/etc/mail/smtpd.conf.

       If  using  database  (db)  files,  newaliases  is equivalent to running
       makemap(8) as follows:

	     # makemap -t aliases /usr/local/etc/mail/aliases

       If  using  plain	 text  files,  newaliases  is  equivalent  to  running
       smtpctl(8) as follows:

	     # smtpctl update table aliases

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/mail/aliases     List of local user mail aliases.
       /usr/local/etc/mail/virtual     List of virtual host aliases.

EXIT STATUS
       The newaliases utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
       smtpd.conf(5), makemap(8), smtpctl(8), smtpd(8)

HISTORY
       The  newaliases	command	first appeared in OpenBSD 4.6 as a replacement
       for the equivalent command shipped with sendmail.
