  /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd 

  This script rotates all the files which are output from running:

  	/usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles --weekly

  If you make sure there is an entry for mail in /etc/syslog.conf then
 these files will be output from the 'syslogd-listfiles' and rotated
 correctly.
  Alternatively you could drop a file in /etc/logrotate.d/ to force
 the issue.

  I hope that helps; and thanks for the great work with courier.
