Change your /service/qmail-smtpd/log/run to something like this...
(all on one line of course). The s5000000 is the size of the file before
it rotates.

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
s5000000 /var/log/qmail/smtpd

Mine already does this. Unless something has changed, yours should do

exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s100000 n20 /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d 2>&1
Call the multilog program under the uid (user id) and gid (group id) which will call the qmail-pop3d program.
The t option means that the log file will have a timestamp on the beginning of the line (tai64n format).
s100000 : is the size of a log file (here 100 000 bytes). It is between 4096 and 16777215.
n20 : is the number of log file (here 20). At least 2.
