Look in the syslog file for logrotate where the original content for your
"recipe" is. There is *no* need to have an extra mail file for logrotate,
just get rid of it. Instead change MailScanner logging to a different file
and then use something like that. Look at the last line!
/var/log/mailscanner.log {
weekly
compress
dateext
maxage 365
rotate 99
size=+4096k
notifempty
missingok
copytruncate
}
BTW: your question should have gone to the MailScanner list, anyway.
