Hold the presses. I too am fighting a logrotate issue and noticed while
looking at your problem (and mine) that somewhere along the line the mail
logs have been moved from /var/log to /var/log/mail.
Looking in /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and a mail
stats script there are some differences. Some are looking at
/var/log/maillog and some at /var/log/mail/maillog.
Are we rotating one file (or at least trying to) and analyzing
another?
