Hello,
Seems I have nothing related to sendmail and mailscanner, seems strange
to me... Is it?
# ls /etc/logrotate.d
acpid clamav freshclam httpd mysqld named psacct rpm syslog
vsftpd.log yum
# cat /etc/logrotate.conf
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.
Best regards
