I use logrotate at my sites to rotate my logs monthly. It's simple to
setup and it's already running on most systems. I generally keep 4
months worth of back logs.
=== /etc/logrotate.d/mailman ===
/var/log/mailman/bounce /var/log/mailman/digest /var/log/mailman/error
/var/log/mailman/post /var/log/mailman/smtp
/var/log/mailman/smtp-failure /var/log/mailman/qrunner
/var/log/mailman/locks /var/log/mailman/fromusenet
/var/log/mailman/subscribe /var/log/mailman/vette {
missingok
sharedscripts
postrotate
/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl reopen >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
===
Note: that's one huge wrapped line at the top containing all the mailman
log file names.
Note2: I believe that this is included in the Mailman source
distribution (maybe as a contrib).
Also of note, right after the logrotate I kick off my monthly reporting
scripts which email the list admins with their monthly usage stats.
