       newaliases

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The newaliases command builds a new copy of the alias file
       from source. The location of  the  alias  source  is  controlled
  by the setting of the A processing flag either in
       the sendmail.cf file or by  the  sendmail  -o  option.  By
       default,  the source file is in /var/adm/sendmail/aliases.
       (The setting of the A processing flag  also  controls  the
       location of the and files.)

       You must issue this command each time you change the alias
       source file for the change to take  effect.  Running  this
       command is equivalent to running the sendmail command with
       the -bi option.
