Rotation of EXIM logs

[erick_paper]

Does anyone know how exim_mainlog and _rejectlog are rotated by default on cpanel? Do I need to set it up myself? I checked up cron.daily/hourly/weekly/monthly, but it's nowhere to be found. My current logrotate.conf doesn't have an exim entry either. Thanks for any info.

It's done by logrotate using the config file in /etc/logrotate.d/exim. If your logs are not rotating, make sure that the logrotate job is running in either /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.weekly (I'd recommend always having it in /etc/cron.daily. You can also run the logs yourself to check for errors:

/usr/sbin/logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.conf

If you're running on FC2 with a /tmp directory mounted noexec you will need to modify /etc/logrotate.conf to use a different TMPDIR as there's a bug in FC2 logrotate that probably isn't going to be fixed now that it's been EOL'd.
