P.O Upgrade Problem (2)

Howdy:

   Forgot to mention this problem in my last msg.

   After my install of the recent P.O update ( Post.Office-3.5.3b19 ) the 
log file(s) seem corrupted.

   Previously, there would be two logs for the current date:

         post.office-0227.log
         post.office.log

and they would be written to simultaneously.  At the end of the day the 
log w/ the current date in the title would be closed, a new one created 
w/ the new current date, and the post.office.log file would be clear to 
start the process again, etc.

   After the install I noticed that the "post.office.log" file had been 
replaced w/ a link, and though the current dates log seemed to be written 
to ( the modified time stamp stays fairly current ), one could not tail 
past about the time of the re-boot after the install ( see samples below 
):

======  Last Readable Line in the File  ======
20020227050559-0800:POP3-Server:Login:[67.112.205.6]:ip-smith

   Either the upgrade altered the logging options settings ( but they 
look OK on the Logging Options form ), or the log file and/or link is 
munged ( not good ).

   Since the ability to view the log file is important to early use of 
the product, Tenon's help in these matters would be greatly appreciated.

   Also, the log files seem to be building up in number and space used.  
If Tenon could include some "tickle" to the cron file ( or wherever 
appropriate ) to compress them down and delete old ones after a week or 
so ( similar to what currently happens to system logs, maybe a postmaster 
setting option ) that too would be greatly appreciated.
