Edit /etc/logrotate.conf and uncomment the "compress" setting. >I also want to change the mail queue and spool from /var to other >partition , One way to do this is to make a soft link from /var/spool/mail to the new partition: - Shut down the SMTP server: service sendmail stop - Shut down the POP3 server: service xinetd stop (this will also shutdown ftp and any other service that depends on xinetd) - Copy the mail files: cd /var/spool/mail ; cp -p * /new/location/ - Make a soft link to the new location: cd .. ; ln -s mail /new/location Now when you restart xinetd and sendmail, the mail should spool to the new location. You need to make sure that the permissions and ownership of the new directory match those on /var/spool/mail. Tony -- Anthony E.
