I'm having an identical problem with logrotation. Except it is not
with clamd but rather with my maillog. It did not start until I began
using mailgraph.pl. I can't figure it out either. I don't think that
the problem is related to either clamd or mailgraph.
Where does one get "support" for logrotate? Is there a mailing list
for it?
Anyone...
