The documentation for mailman in: /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.4/README.gentoo.gz states that we should run the command "newaliases" after editing the /etc/mail/aliases file. I use qmail and do not have this command. What should I use in place of this command? Should the document be updated? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
how about #su - mailman #newaliases or #bin/newaliases
Nope. Didn't work either. I did a find for the file and couldn't find it anywhere on my entire filesystem. Is it included with mailman? Here is the output of my qpkg -l mailman | grep alias /usr/local/mailman/bin/genaliases /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/korean/aliases.pyc /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/korean/aliases.py /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/japanese/aliases /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/japanese/aliases/__init__.pyc
$ qpkg -l mailman | grep alias /usr/local/mailman/bin/genaliases /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/japanese/aliases /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/japanese/aliases/__init__.py /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/japanese/aliases/__init__.pyc /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/korean/aliases.py /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/korean/aliases.pyc
dvb root # newaliases /etc/mail/aliases: 74 aliases, longest 37 bytes, 2438 bytes total this comes from sendmail, just if you use if not, be sure your mta updates the alias-db
