## NAME

newaliases - zmailer aliases database rebuilder

## SYNOPSIS

## newaliases

## DESCRIPTION

newaliases rebuilds the aliases database used by the router(8) configuration at most sites. The database is a sorted list of (alias,byteoffset) values, with the byteoffset referring to a digested file containing the raw data from the normal aliases file. The indirection allows the alias entries to be arbitrarily large without running into representational limits.

The router must be available to interpret this script, as it provides the address digestification functionality. By convention, signal 16 is sent to the router when it should flush and reopen the aliases database.

## FILES

/etc/zmailer.conf
/local/share/mail/db/aliases (MAILSHARE/db/aliases)
/var/spool/postoffice/.pid.router (POSTOFFICE/.pid.router)
