The entry that handles logrotation for /var/log/maillog is in 
/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog and that should take care of it:

[root at 5211r ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
/var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
{
     missingok
     sharedscripts
     postrotate
         /usr/bin/systemctl -s HUP kill rsyslog.service >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| true
     endscript
}

With best regards
