Looks like it *could* be OK, depends on whether the line wraps are caused by
email. IIRC, multiple log files should be on one line separated by
acceptable whitespace. I would check to make sure that there are nothing but
spaces separating in that first line. If that doesn't work, you could try:
    /var/log/httpd/*_log {
instead.
