NAME

       newaliases - rebuild the data base for the mail aliases file

SYNOPSIS

       newaliases

DESCRIPTION

       newaliases rebuilds the random access data base for the mail aliases file /etc/mail/aliases.

       newaliases accepts all the flags that sendmail(1M) accepts. However, most of these flags have no effect, except for the -C option and three
       of the Processing Options that can be set from a configuration file with the -o option:

       -C /path/to/alt/config/file     Use alternate configuration file.

       -oAfile			       Specify possible alias files.

       -oLn			       Set the default log level to n. Defaults to 9.

       -on			       Validate the RHS of aliases when rebuilding the aliases(4) database.

       newaliases runs in verbose mode (-v option) automatically.
