DESCRIPTION

12       Newaliases  rebuilds  the  random access data base for the mail aliases
13       file /etc/aliases.  It must be run each time this file  is  changed  in
14       order for the change to take effect.
15
16       Newaliases is identical to ``sendmail -bi''.
17
18       The newaliases utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
19
20       Notice:  do  not  use  makemap to create the aliases data base, because
21       newaliases puts a special token into the data base that is required  by
22       sendmail.
