Volker,

Exim does not typically use syslog, although exim4 does now have a
facility to do so.

If you are not using syslog, then rolling the log file is just a case of
moving it out of the way or deleting it. No need to create a new one,
no need to HUP anything (exim does not hold the logfile open for any
length of time).

    Nigel.
