Hello Andrey, I have it working, finally. I've setup a cronjob in
webmin with this command line

logrotate -v --state=/home/chris/logrotate/status
/home/chris/logrotate/fetchmail.logrotate

It's setup as user 'chris' of course. Once I'm sure it's working
correctly as I have it set to run every day at 8am I'll change it to
weekly. 

Thank you and all the others who assisted me in getting this setup.

Chris
