RE: Postfix & logrotate
You did not get the hint.. The "wrong" thing here is mail.*
Because your rotating now everything behind the mail.*
so also .1 .1.1 .1.1.1 etc etc, until you server explodes ;-)
You should have this in you postfix logrotate..
Try this.
/var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.log {
monthly
missingok
notifempty
delaycompress
compress
create 640 root adm
rotate 3650
size 10M
}

RE: Postfix & logrotate
Hai,
Did you remove the mail rotate also from /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog ?
You have these lines in the rsyslog file also.
/var/log/mail.info
/var/log/mail.warn
/var/log/mail.err
/var/log/mail.log
Your now "double" rotateing your logs. ;-)
Greetz,

Postfix & logrotate
This problem is not strictly related to Postfix, but I'm going crazy
trying to solve it. I've a postfix mail server on Debian 9. I want
maintain the mail log, so I create a posfix file in /etc/logrotate.d
with the following content (this is the latest attempt to find a
solution):
/var/log/mail.* {
monthly
missingok
notifempty
delaycompress
compress
rotate 3650
size 10M
}
Every day I find a lot of empty mail log like the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 Mar 28 06:25 mail.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm11150441 Mar 28 06:25 mail.log.1.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 Mar 28 06:25 mail.log.1.1.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm13200643 Mar 25 06:25 mail.log.1.1.1.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 Mar 28 06:25 mail.log.1.1.1.1.1.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm14921041 Mar 23 06:25 mail.log.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 Mar 28 06:25 mail.log.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
After the weekend the logs seems a tree. Someone can help me to solve
the problem?
Thanks
