NEWALIASES(8) 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.
