NAME

6       newaliases - rebuild mail aliases
7

SYNOPSIS

9       newaliases [-f file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The newaliases utility makes changes to the mail aliases file visible
13       to smtpd(8).  It should be run every time the aliases(5) file is
14       changed.  The location of the alias file is defined in smtpd.conf(5),
15       and defaults to /etc/opensmtpd/aliases.
16
17       The options are as follows:
18
19            -f file
20                   Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default
21                   /etc/opensmtpd/smtpd.conf.
22
23       If using database (db) files, newaliases is equivalent to running
24       makemap(8) as follows:
25           # makemap -t aliases /etc/opensmtpd/aliases
26
27       If using plain text files,
28       newaliases
29       is equivalent to running
30       smtpctl(8)
31       as follows:
32           # smtpctl update table aliases
33
