Getting /var/log/mail.log to rotate

Asked by avernet in Gentoo Linux, Linux Administration

Tags: gentoo, rotate, log

I am using gentoo, and while my /var/log/messages rotates, the /var/log/mail.log does not. Does the mail.log go through syslog? How can I setup syslog to make this log rotate like /var/log/messages? Is this something I need to configure in /etc/logrotate.conf or in some file in /etc/logrotate.d?
