In /etc/mail/aliases, there is the following note:

#       >>>>>>>>>>        The program "newaliases" must be run after
#       >> NOTE >>  this file is updated for any changes to
#       >>>>>>>>>>        show through to smtpd.

Yet the man page for newaliases(8) says:

    Note: this utility is provided for sendmail compatibility. The preferred way of rebuilding the database is withmakemap(8) <https://man.openbsd.org/makemap.8>:

# makemap -t aliases /etc/mail/aliases

Taking the note in the man page at face value, I would expect that the note in /etc/mail/aliases is now out-of-date, is it not? Or am I overlooking something?

Thanks.
