Which method are you using for Sympa logs?  If you are having Sympa send logs 
via syslog (eg, /etc/sympa.conf: "syslog LOCAL1") and then having syslog 
manage the file (eg, /etc/syslog.conf: local1.debug /var/log/sympa.log ) then 
you need to tell *syslog* to reopen the file using something like this (you 
may need rsyslog.pid depending on your versions of syslog and PID file 
location)
  postrotate
    /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || 
true
  endscript
If Sympa is writing directly to the file as it sounds, then you need to 
restart Sympa, though a service restart here often seems to fail to stop the 
main Sympa.pl process for some reason (we're on v6.1.14, other versions may 
be different)
