i dont know if IredAdmin-Pro will backup such old logs.

but the normal logrotation (postfix) dont save such "old" logs.
So if you dont have a old backup with the old Logs in it, they are lost.

You should see many compressed log files under /var/log/, e.g. mail.log.1.gz, mail.log.2.gz, etc, do they contain any old log you're looking for?

Re: how to reach logs from 3 months ago ?

If you want to start logging more in future you can edit your rsyslog logrotate file at /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog

eg, set "rotate 365" to keep 1 year of logs.
Here's a sample of mine:

/var/log/syslog
{
    rotate 7
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    delaycompress
    compress
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
#        invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
    endscript
}

/var/log/mail.info
/var/log/mail.warn
/var/log/mail.err
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/auth.log
/var/log/user.log
/var/log/lpr.log
/var/log/cron.log
/var/log/debug
/var/log/messages
{
    rotate 365
    weekly
    missingok
    notifempty
    compress
    delaycompress
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
}
