Hey guys,
We have sendmail mail server which we use for mass mailing.
After a period of time /var/log/maillog file becomes 400 - 500MB's of junk log file.
I tried to disable it from /etc/syslog.conf ( I commented out the file)
but now, I receive the following error in root's mailbox.
**************************
errors occured while rotating /var/log/maillog {

stat of /var/log/maillog failed: No such file or directory
**************************

Any ideas what could the solution be?
Thanks in advance.
