Bug#1059488: /var/log/mail.log and .../syslog are filling up / sometimes

[Holger Levsen]

package: jenkins.debian.org

Once every while we are notified like this:

Fri Dec 22 11:05:01 UTC 2023 - Warning: too large files found in /var/log:
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 33G Dec 22 11:05 /var/log/mail.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 33G Dec 22 11:05 /var/log/syslog

And then, instead of fixing this properly, I just paper over

# rm /var/log/mail.log /var/log/syslog ; for i in postfix rsyslog ; do systemctl restart $i ; done

and move on. This bug is to remind me to fix this properly.

It's not about saving the climate or the planet, it's about saving us, the
children and grandchildren. The planet will survive anyway.
