Hmmm...I do it even differently. I have my syslog.conf split all mail
related items to /var/log/maillog. I then use logrotate to rotate my
maillog automatically every week. I'm saving four weeks, so I have:
/etc/log/maillog
/etc/log/maillog.1
/etc/log/maillog.2
/etc/log/maillog.3
All of which is done for me...I'm letting the computer work so I don't
have to! :) Me loves logrotate!
