The name of the program that does is logrotate.
See logrotate(8) for details.
If that is the only reason you are looking for this software, then you can try
to change logrotate's configuration:
edit /etc/logrotate.d/syslog, and look for the lines that say
/var/log/maillog {
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
Change it to:
/var/log/maillog {
monthly
rotate 3
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
To keep 3 months' logs.
