[Mailman-Developers] problem with log rotation for mailman on RedHat 7.3

[Barry Gould]

something really strange is going on with log rotation for the RedHat 
mailman package... it keeps adding more and more .x.gz... files in the log dir.

I don't think I've modified it since installing RedHat, other than 
upgrading the mailman rpm due to the security notice.

let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Barry
