recognize the program name `newaliases' too We still simply exit in this mode, but now we can create a link called `newaliases' to masqmail instead of needing a script to call `masqmail -bi'. `ln /bin/true /usr/bin/newaliases' would be a fancy way too, but letting the MTA handle it is probably the safer approach.
