Doubt on /var/log/messages

["N.S.Srinath" <susri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I use linux (RH 5, from PCQ).  I'm a newbie in sysadmin.

In my /var/log, there are 5 messages files.  Current messages are in
messages file, whereas older messages are in messages.1 ... messages.4
files.

Also, there are 5 maillog files, similar to the messages files. 

Can I delete those old files?

TIA,
Srinath.
