My mail log seems to be stuck:
[rshepard at salmo ~]$ ls -l /var/log/maillog*
-rw------- 1 root root 36131045 May 11 09:30 /var/log/maillog
-rw------- 1 root root 837330 Feb 17 04:03 /var/log/maillog.1
-rw------- 1 root root 786760 Feb 10 03:51 /var/log/maillog.2
-rw------- 1 root root 844844 Feb 3 04:03 /var/log/maillog.3
-rw------- 1 root root 783096 Jan 27 03:30 /var/log/maillog.4
Logging is turned on in /etc/syslog.conf:
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* /var/log/maillog
but I cannot remember where I check to see if log rotation is turned on for
this. I cannot imagine why I would have turned rotation off in February, but
I would like to get the turnover schedule back on track.
Thanks,
Rich
