  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
