Try LOGROTATE you can get details by doing

man logrotate

from the telnet/ssh prompt

in the /etc/cron.daily/logrotate (probably) you will see the various
logrotate rules you can edit or create new rules to compress logs for each
site upon reaching xx mb in size etc, etc.

It should set these up automatically but I have found on our Raq4s that
sometimes some manual tweaking is needed.
