Ah, that is a bug.  What is the output of (as root) `which newaliases`?
I'd like to not use qmail's newaliases if it's going to act like that,
but I have to for sendmail, so it's kind of a problem.  Maybe this is as
good a place to ask as any, since there are many email admin's on a
variety of MTA's here: what MTA's actually need and implement
newaliases, and what are testable ways to deal wth them?

These I know:

exim3 & 4 : provide script that returns 0, does nothing
sendmail  : actually needs it
qmail     : apparently at least one implementation blows up
postfix   : ? Don't think it actually needs it - may provide it

Others?  advice?
