The following works fine on a FreeBSD system (/etc/newsyslog.conf)
# logfilename [owner:group] mode count size when flags [/pid_file]
[sig_num]
/var/log/dovecot.log vmail:vmail 664 1 * $M1D0 CJ
/var/run/dovecot/master.pid 30
$M1D0 rotate at the first day of every month at midnight (i.e., the start of
the day; same as @01T00)
