I substituted that silly tag after the mail line so I won't get spammed,
but it is a valid e-mail address; I'm sure of it. Basically, syslog and
apache's logs are created with group sysadmin, with the proper
priveledges, and compressed. However, they are not being mailed to that
e-mail address. The computer is running qmail, set up on SMTP and on
POP3, and is working perfectly for both. In /var/log/qmail/current, I
see no record of any messages sent by logrotate.

Furthermore, why is auth.log not being created for the group sysadmin?
