NEWALIASES(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWALIASES(8)
newaliases — rebuild mail aliases
newaliases [-f file]
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/mail/aliases.
The options are as follows:
-f file
Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default
/etc/mail/smtpd.conf.
If using database (db) files, newaliases is equivalent to running
makemap(8) as follows:
# makemap -t aliases /etc/mail/aliases
If using plain text files, newaliases is equivalent to running
smtpctl(8) as follows:
# smtpctl update table aliases
/etc/mail/aliases List of local user mail aliases.
/etc/mail/virtual List of virtual host aliases.
The newaliases utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
smtpd.conf(5), makemap(8), smtpctl(8), smtpd(8)
The newaliases command first appeared in OpenBSD 4.6 as a replacement
for the equivalent command shipped with sendmail.
