Wrt $SUBJ - my logrotate changes didn't work. I created a /etc/logrotate.d/syslog with new definitions for /var/log/messages and /var/log/mail, but it seems it was ignored.
Were those definitions in /usr/etc/logrotate.d/syslog?
Yes, /usr/etc/logrotate.d/syslog has definitions for a lot of log files [1], including those two.
