Not exactly, a file can be a "database" too. The trouble here is that newaliases is performing two very different tasks depending on whether smtpd.conf is configured to use a plain text file or a db file. I'm open to a better description but it is hard to describe the behavior of both modes without being overly generic. Perhaps simply: .Nd rebuild mail aliases - todd
