NAME

       newaliases - update /etc/aliases database

SYNOPSIS

       newaliases

DESCRIPTION

       This  is a link to the ssmtp binary. It invokes /usr/sbin/sendmail with
       the -bi option. It is provided  for  compatibility  with  the  sendmail
       program.

       In  this  case  it does absolutely nothing since sSMTP does not support
       /etc/aliases and is  just  there  to  avoid  programs  returning  error
       messages.
