That's what exim does already. Before writing to the log, the
inode_of("mainlog")
is compared with the inode we opened. If they differ, the current log is closed
and a new one starts.
In other words, as soon as it is detected as old, it gets re-opened.
Unfortunenately it detected on write access only.
If you do not write to the mainlog, this detection might be delayed forever...
