Sure just need to add a directive to logrotate
The main config file is /etc/logrotate.conf if you want all the rotated logs emailed to you add it there otherwise you will need to find the directive in one of the included files in /etc/logfilerotate.d and add it between that files brackets{}

mail user@host.com

Also a trick if you get tired of a million logfiles in the directories create a central archive folder, ex /var/log/archive and add this directive to the /etc/logrotate.conf:

olddir /var/log/archive

Hi,

think you need to convert the attachment with MIME Type,
after that you can send attachments with the Endian Firewall.

Look at the endian Firewall Monitor this is the same function.

Sorry didnt catch this before, but i think the problem lies with the rotate_persistent

It appears to move the file to a different location after the log rotation.  the mail command will occur after the lastaction(no matter where it is in the script), so since logrotate doesnt know where the file went (it called an outside program for cleanup, aka rotate_persistent) it cannot mail the file to the user.

I dont know why efw does its rotation this way, but i would set the olddir directive and remove the rotate_* command. User be warned.
