Hi,
Does anyone have logrotate working correctly for maillog on a weekly basis? I'm not sure if its my logrotate config:
/var/log/maillog {
rotate 100
compress
weekly
dateext
notifempty
copytruncate
postrotate
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
endscript
}


Can someone who has this working correctly post their logrotate config.

Thanks,
James

It is.

Why? This is the error. You need to restart your syslog daemon.

This works out of the box with Slackware, and probably any other OS
which ships logrotate. My config would not be useful to you. You
should be looking in your OS documentation and follow up to a forum
for your OS.
