Bug#396003: exim4-base: rotation of paniclog could be better

[Richard Salts]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.63-8
Severity: wishlist

The rotation of /var/log/exim4/paniclog is currently set to do so when
the filesize reaches 10 Meg. When the daily exim cron job runs it
reports an paniclog with non-zero size. I would think it would be better
for the paniclog to be rotated daily or the cron job to use the mtime
and the size of the paniclog before sending the email.
