That's what exim does already. Before writing to the log, the inode_of("mainlog") is compared with the inode we opened. If they differ, the current log is closed and a new one starts. In other words, as soon as it is detected as old, it gets re-opened. Unfortunenately it detected on write access only. If you do not write to the mainlog, this detection might be delayed forever... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
