Yes, after rotation the post log does get written to post.1

No. /var/run/mailman/ is empty.

Wonderful! I edited my postrotate the same and the post log got written to on
schedule.
The oddity was that with the check "/var/run/mailman/mailman.pid" -- the
subscribe log was getting written but not the post.
/var/log/mailman/subscribe /var/log/mailman/post {
...
}
But I can sure live with that mystery and not look a gift horse in the mouth.
Thanks very much for your invaluable help Mark (yet again).
