Topic: mail log file retention.

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release):   1.6.1
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?  downloadable installer
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:     Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  MariaDB
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):  Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?  no
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

by default log file rotation of mail.log   runs once a week and retains 4 log files.

How do I increase the number of old log files to retain?

/etc/logrotate.d/  contains file configurations, but nothing about mail.log.
thanks.

Re: mail log file retention.

Create a new file under /etc/logrotate.d/ for mail.log to rotate it in preferred period.
