Hmm, the only problem I had on 7.1 servers was in the logrotate.d/syslog
configuration. It was set like this:
/var/log/mail/* {
...
}
which is wrong.
The correct entrie would be:
/var/log/mail/errors {
...
}
/var/log/mail/info {
...
}
etc.etc.etc.
The '/var/log/mail/*' was causing the pr

I've had this problem as well, with the news and mail folders. What I've
noticed is that in both of those folders, the logs are stored as 'news.crit,
mail.warn, etc' and have no .log extension - and I think this is causing
problems, because you'll end up with things like
'mail.info.1.gz.1.gz.2.gz.
