maillog logs not updating

Hi all!

Just noticed that my maillog files are not being updated:

-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 28 04:02 maillog
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 21 04:02 maillog.1
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 14 04:02 maillog.2
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 7 04:02 maillog.3
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 31 04:02 maillog.4


Any ideas why this is the case, is this a permissioning problem - the conf file (/etc/log.d/conf/logfiles/maillog.conf) does have the following line:

# What actual file? Defaults to LogPath if not absolute path....
LogFile = maillog


I also note that freshclam has got the same problem.

Many thanks,

I just noticed that my log files are here:

# ls -l /usr/local/psa/var/log/
total 4132568
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3027598570 Jan 29 21:18 maillog

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3983798 Jan 20 04:07 xferlog.processed

Isn't the maillog file too huge, anyway I can set it to make smaller log files before it compresses them i.e. every 7 days - any ideas where I would do that?
