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       This utility has been superceded by zmailer newdb mechanism, but can be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.
