...but as i just found out, if you install smail, you don't get
`newaliases', but rather `mkaliases' (in /usr/sbin). it's kinda
inconsistent -- the man page for smail lists `newaliases' at the top,
but never mentions it again.
i did just do an `ln -s newaliases mkaliases' and running `newaliases'
worked fine, so that's a workable short-term fix.
