Hi all,

I've just run out of space on my 10GB VPS and I noticed that all my log files are enormous... (e.g. mail.log and mail.log.prev are 575MB)

I don't seem to have any rotations going on at all...

I installed initially from an RC... 2 or 3, I think, and I'm currently running on RC6. Did the logrotate setup only start working after RC6?

How would I check to see for definite that it's not rotating?

Many thanks,

Jx

Ok - I've just checked... error.log in apache seems to be rotating and gzipping, but mail.* certainly isn't...
Any recommendations for best practice on that?
