The best way to roll out exim logs is to add this kind of line to the
crontab:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/exim/exicyclog
Your path to exicyclog may vary.
If you use newsyslog for rotating exim logs, you probably have lines
like this one in your /etc/newsyslog.conf
/var/log/exim/mainlog 640 20 * $W0D0 ZB
The $W0D0 variable is when the logs are rotated, but if you really want
to use newsyslog to rotate exim logs, you really have to read newsyslog
man pages to understand the rotation rules.
Honestly, I'd suggest you to use exicyclog in crontabs.
