If the log is written by (r)syslogd, you must use the tool that
rotates (r)syslogd logs. This ensures that (r)syslogd stops writing
to a file before it is compressed. The name of the program is
distribution dependent.
If the log is written by Postfix you must use "postfix logrotate".
This ensures that Postfix stops writing to a file before it is
compressed.
