Does anyone know of a utility similar to newsyslog that will handle mbox format files? I have Procmail sending messages to a file for some of my users, but I would like something "automatic" to keep the file from growing to fill my disk. I tried using newsyslog, but it just chops the file up when it hits it's limit, breaking the mbox format. This makes the file unreadable with Pine or other mail clients. I've been thinking about some kind of list archiving software, but it doesn't seem to fit the application. The best result I could hope for would be to have this file grow to a size limit I determine, then start throwing messages out as new one's come in, FIFO, and just keep the same file. I think that's asking a little much, so something like newsyslog would be second best, just keep two files around, the live on receiving messages, and the old one at it's limit, then when the new one hits it's limit, the old one is gone. Thanks, Chuck
