I thought the create command created the new log with those permissions
not changed the owner/permission of the rotated logs.  Alice said she
would like:

   -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog
   -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224
   -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 7237640 Mar  1 12:59 maillog-20190228
   -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1297508 Mar  3 04:21 maillog-20190303
   -rw-r----- 1 root somegroup 1319371 Mar 10 08:17 maillog-20190310
