You could install the logrotate port /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate and
switch the logfiles you want to this instead of newsyslog
For webserver error logs I use something like this scripts which runs
from cron
=23!/bin/sh
cd /home/www
LOGFILES=3D=60ls */logfiles/errorlog=2Etxt=60
for i in =24LOGFILES
do
if =5B -s =24i =5D
then
tail -r -n 100 =24i =7Cmail -s =24i =3Cemail=5Faddress=3E
fi
done
