Logrotate and MailScanner

[Mister PO]

Hello all,

My Mailscanner RedHat 9 Linux server logs its activity in the
/var/log/maillog file.

I have added the following section to /etc/logrotate.conf to purge logs daily :

/var/log/maillog {
daily
create
rotate 3
}

but my log file is still growing and logrotate doesn't do its job.

Do I need stop and start MailScanner to help logrotate do its job ?

I know there is a postrotate instruction, but is there prerotate one ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

PO.
