You are probably recreating the log files with rights that prevent Courier from writing to the files. Try deleting the new log files and restarting Courier. Courier should be able to create the log file itself with proper rights when it sees it doesn't exist. As for a log rotater, you didn't say much about what OS your running but I use logrotate which comes as an RPM on Redhat along with logwatch which emails me summary information from the logs each day. Works very nice. Just do a google for your platform.
