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) data‐
	   base.

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

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Running the newaliases Command

       The following command runs newaliases on an alias file  different  from
       the /etc/mail/aliases default in sendmail(1M):
