[Mailman-Developers] Log file rollovers

2003-10-09 Thread Nadim Shaikli
I've noticed some weird happenings with Mailman (v-2.1.2). As expected on the first of each month all the log files get rolled over (so vette becomes vette.1 and bounce becomes bounce.1, etc). Every so often I see files that are created but are not used. For instance, I'm looking at my log
