I use MailScanner + exim which involves separate exim processes for inbound and outbound.
Having an issue with rotating the exim logs for the inbound process which is the additional one I use. Here's what /etc/logrotate.d/exim has. The various log files in /var/log/exim are rotated correctly but the ones in /var/spool/exim/msglog aren't.
I made a change today because I noticed I had /var/spool/exim/paniclog and /var/spool/exim/rejectlog instead of /var/spool/exim/msglog/paniclog and /var/spool/exim/msglog/rejectlog so I corrected this. However, since /var/spool/exim/msglog/mainlog is the very large file that isn't being rotated, I can't see that this correction will make any difference.
Here's my /etc/logrotate.d/exim file:
In /etc/logrotate.conf I have no reference to exim, instead there's this reference:
Permissions on /var/spool/exim/msglog/mainlog are identical to /var/log/exim/mainlog
