9 !!DESCRIPTION
10 __Newaliases__ rebuilds the random access data base for the mail aliases file /etc/aliases. It must be run each time this file is changed in order for the change to take effect.
11
12 __Newaliases__ is identical to "sendmail -bi".
13
14 The __newaliases__ utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
15
16 Notice: do __not__ use __makemap__ to create the aliases data base, because __newaliases__ puts a special token into the data base that is required by __sendmail.__
