NEWALIASES(8) System Manager's Manual NEWALIASES(8) 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.
