NAME
  newaliases - Builds a new copy of the alias database

SYNOPSIS
  newaliases

DESCRIPTION
  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 .dir and
  .pag 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.
