Doesn't logrotate rename to whole file? So that if a mail went to backup
at 12:00:00, and logrotate was set to run at 12:00:01, then you won't
see any mail in your backup?
I use Maildir for everything, and have a script that just goes through
my spam and trash folders and delete all messages that are older than a
given time:
find $Mail/trash $Mail/spam -type f -mtime 90 -print0 | xargs -0r rm
