Isn't alias_manager.pl supposed to run 'newaliases' via aliaswrapper,
whenever it is run?

On our sympa installation, I can run alias_manager.pl from the command line,
and when I create a new list via wwsympa.fcgi, alias_manager.pl runs and
appends new list aliases to /etc/mail/sympa.aliases - but it looks like it is
not running 'newaliases' after appending to sympa.aliases. I have to log in
as root and run 'newaliases' manually in order to successfully send mail to
my new list, otherwise I get a mail delivery notification telling me that the
message can't be delivered because the recipient is unknown - running
'newaliases' fixes this.

Do I have to recompile in order to get alias_manager.pl to run newaliases for
me? Or do people usually just newaliases as a cron job?

Thanks.
