I never saw a (fairly important) email sent earlier this month so
decided to check my postfix logs. Surprised to discover that
they only go back a week and appear to being rotated daily.
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd contains the line:
logs=$(syslogd-listfiles)
and the output of syslogd-listfiles is:
/var/log/syslog
...only.
But the equivalent in cron.weekly calls "syslogd-listfiles --weekly"
which *does* list the mail.* log files.
So it's like the cron.daily is taking the '--weekly' output.
Any pointers?
No references to 'mail' in logrotate.d or logrotate.conf.
It's Debian 6.0.10.
