Re: mail question
If aliases is gone, you'll have to restore from backup.

Re: mail question
You can restore a virgin aliases file from:
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail/aliases

Re: mail question
If you cp a virgin aliases as JRF suggests, then yes you will have to edit it to get it back to its previous form.
The aliases file is only used by the newaliases command to generate aliases.db. If aliases doesn't exist, then there's no harm until you need to make a change.
There's no way I know of to have 'newaliases' work in reverse to generate aliases from aliases.db.
Why is restoring from backup a problem? That's why you have them.

Re: mail question
How do I re-link the /etc/aliases to /etc/mail/aliases.
That's the way it's setup on our other servers.
# ln -i /etc/aliases /etc/mail/aliases?
