Obviously you don’t need to restart the daemon to pickup new aliases.
If you are using a plain file aliases map it can be reloaded atomically at
runtime using smtpctl.
If you are using a db file, it can be rebuilt using the newaliases / makemap

I can’t tell you which one to use because
Hi Gilles,
I did not change anything from the default. But I realise all may not be
using default file like me and may not know what is in it. Here is a copy

the home directory of normal user account (say user01). Emails direct
