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 -- John L.
