Hello,
That looks bad, the part where logrotate actually considers the
logfiles is missing, this should include stuff look like this:

rotating pattern: /var/log/exim4/mainlog /var/log/exim4/rejectlog /var/log/exim4/paniclog  after 1 days (10 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/exim4/mainlog
  log does not need rotating

Could you send the complete un-grepped output of "logrotate -d
/etc/logrotate.conf"?
          thanks, cu andreas
