I think logrotate is a Red Hat thing. However, you can choose to install
metalog which does log rotation

Exactly! I run apache, postfix, and many other server jobs that do not
use metalog, so I too have logrotate installed. Perhaps not a
requirement for a desktop only install.

Take a look at logrotate. That's what you are looking for, because the standard

Is there a way to reduce the sizes of logfiles? For example my fetchmail
logfile weighs around 50+ MB now.
Lets say I would like to limit some logfiles to only keep the logs 30

As a general rule that should be done by your log daemon. I use metalog
log size and history is set in /etc/metalog/metalog.conf. e.g.:
maxsize = 10
maxtime = 86400
maxfiles = 5
Whatever you use as your logging daemon should have this capability
