It all depends on whether you like 100's of small files or a smaller number of large files.  I maintain 80 100000 size files.  You are handling about 50 40000 files ... I personally would hate trying to read in that size and with only 50 they are rotated away too quickly.  To give you an idea you are filling your default size limit in about 9 minutes (per your post earlier).
 
Oh there was an earlier post telling you how to read the files with "@" in front of them... you have to use a \ before the @ to read them.
 
like this:
cat  [EMAIL PROTECTED] | tai64nlocal

The file sizes should be greater than "0" , but you didn't post enough info for us to know if they are blank.  I suspent the run file is calling a size variable which is not created in your setup.  Do this:
        cat /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/log/run
 
you should see something like this:
###
        #!/bin/sh
        LOGSIZE=`cat /var/qmail/control/logsize`
        LOGCOUNT=`cat /var/qmail/control/logcount`
        exec /usr/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/bin/multilog t s$LOGSIZE n$LOGCOUNT /var/log/qmail/send 2>&1
########
 
Logsize points to a file in the control directory and I'd bet it's 0.  Do this:
          echo "100000" > /var/qmail/control/logsize
 
You'll just need to restart your log send program to make it start logging again (in the current file):
          svc -du /var/qmail/supervise/send
 
I usually look for log dir problems by looking for readproctitle errors in the running processes:
          ps aux | grep readproctitle
 
It should look like this:
readproctitle service errors: .......................
 
Good luck to you,

Correct. Those files are your log files. They've been renamed from
"current" to the time and date they're reporting on. View one of the
files, you'll see.
