NAME
newaliases - zmailer aliases database rebuilder
SYNOPSIS
newaliases [ -s ] [ /file/path ]
DESCRIPTION
This utility has been superceded by zmailer newdb mechanism, but can be
used in few places, provided that aliases type database is being pro-
duced with default settings!
Running the newaliases(1zm) without parameters rebuilds the
aliases(5zm) database used by the router(8zm) configuration at most
sites.
This script wrapper constructs argument list for underlying newdb(8zm)
program (and makedb(8zm) under it,) which does actual aliases(5zm) for-
mat database compilation work.
OPTIONS
-s
Optionally silence the underlying makedb(8zm) program.
/file/path
Optionally specify file path (fully qualified, or relative) to
the database to be compiled.
With this option one can specify which database is to be com-
piled.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ZCONFIG
This environment variable is expected to be inherited from the
user's environment for cases where default location isn't cor-
rect.
Z-ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Following ZENV-variables are used by the newaliases(1zm) program:
MAILVAR
Tells where the ZMailer's runtime databases, etc. are by
default.
FILES
/opt/mail/zmailer.conf (ZCONFIG)
