## 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 represen- tational limits.

The router must be available to interpret this script, as it provides the address digestification functionality. By con- vention, 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)
