I suspect it's an interaction between mailfirst, delaycompress *and*
dateext.
I can confirm this...
With "dateext" the filename is set thus:
/* firstRotated is most recently created/compressed rotated log */
sprintf(firstRotated, "%s/%s-%04d%02d%02d%s%s",
dirName, baseName, now.tm_year+1900,
now.tm_mon+1, now.tm_mday, fileext, compext);
Without "dateext" it's set like this:
sprintf(firstRotated, "%s/%s.%d%s%s", dirName, baseName,
logStart, fileext,
(log->flags & LOG_FLAG_DELAYCOMPRESS) ? "" : compext);
Notice how when "datext" is set it doesn't take into account
LOG_FLAG_DELAYCOMPRESS? It's an easy fix, but I'm afraid we may be far too
late for the fix to go into the lenny release.
