So I have been taught it is not enough to edit /etc/aliases, you also have to run newaliases to update /etc/aliases.db. Both these files exist in the base install, along with mailx. But newaliases does NOT exist. A 'quick' yum whatprovides shows that newaliases is installed along with any of: exim, sendmail, postfix, or ssmtp :(

So does mailx use /etc/aliases.db? If it does, why no newaliases, and how to install only newaliases, not a whole MTA?

Well for now, I can quite live with root mail going to root's maildir.
