exim mail logs on mx1001/mx2001 are being kept for 10 days now (up to mainlog.9.gz). That's probably a little too short. We should increase the retention period to something longer but still within the days of our privacy policy (90 days). Either 60 or 90 days should probably be our choice.

Change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/357723 to increase exim log retention to 60 days is ready for review

FWIW if we also want to store mail logs off-host a simple solution would be to syslog exim logs too, syslog hosts already have 90d retention in place.

Merged https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/357723 and ran puppet on mx[1,2]001 to extend local log retention to 60 days. Will double check tomorrow that a mainlog.11.gz is present.
