maillog rotation

[FulvioC]

Hi, I have a plesk panel 8.3 installed with Qmail and spamassassin.

I would like to keep mail logs for at least 2 months, but I can't find anything to configure in web interface neither via shell.

The only way I found is to reconfigure syslog to log mail.* into a different file ( and not into the default one /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog) and then rotate it via logrotate.

Another way is to run a custom shell script via cron, that copy the maillog into another place and then elaborate it..

But i like to keep an "official" way.

Is there a configuration that allows me to specify how many logs and how many time the system has to keep them?

thanks in advance,

k.

Have a look at /etc/logrotate.conf or the entry's in /etc/logrotate.d.
Also try: man logrotate.

/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog isn't rotated by logrotate, is the first place where I search something to configure..

I think is rotated by /usr/local/psa/bin/statistics but I don't find any doc that explain this..

does anyone know who rotates the maillogs? is there a way to tune it?

thanks

Solved!

does anyone know who rotates the maillogs? is there a way to tune it?

Finally, i found where it is configurated, it uses a custom logrotate and a custom config file located in
/etc/psa/logrotate.conf.

thanks anyway
