[PLUG] logs not rotating

[Anthony Schlemmer]

It's all going to depend what sort of logrotate configuration you have 
for your mail log. Most of the time I think things are configured to 
rotate a file once it exceeds it's maximum allowed size. If the file 
size isn't exceeded then it wouldn't be rotated. There is a "daily" 
directive that you can specify in the logrotate configuration for your 
mail log to cause the file to be rotated on a daily basis.
