newaliases Behave as if the option -bi were present before any other options, for compatibility with Sendmail. This option is used for rebuilding ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sendmail's alias file. Exim does not have the concept of a single ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ alias file, but can be configured to run a specified command if called with the -bi option.
