The newaliases command is a sendmail and/or Postfix command.  It is
supplied by those packages, not by Mailman.  The command takes

     /etc/aliases

and creates

     /etc/aliases.dir
     /etc/aliases.pag

These two files are internal database formats of the aliases file
so that the sendmail/Postfix can search the alias file/database
more quickly.
