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 /etc/smtpd/aliases.

     The options are as follows:

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

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

           # makemap -t aliases /etc/smtpd/aliases

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

           # smtpctl update table aliases

FILES
     /etc/smtpd/aliases     List of local user mail aliases.
     /etc/smtpd/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.
