Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.4.1-18
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd rotates /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mail.info every
thursday even though manually running syslogd-listfiles only shows
/var/log/syslog (as expected).
Before rebooting the server this strange behaviour happened every friday.
Output of cron on thursday:
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd:
+ cd /var/log
++ syslogd-listfiles
+ for LOG in '`syslogd-listfiles`'
+ '[' -s /var/log/syslog ']'
+ savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/log/syslog
+ for LOG in '`syslogd-listfiles`'
+ '[' -s /var/log/mail.log ']'
+ savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/log/mail.log
+ for LOG in '`syslogd-listfiles`'
+ '[' -s /var/log/mail.info ']'
+ savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/log/mail.info
++ syslogd-listfiles --auth
+ for LOG in '`syslogd-listfiles --auth`'
+ '[' -f /var/log/auth.log ']'
+ chown root:adm /var/log/auth.log
+ chmod o-rwx /var/log/auth.log
+ /etc/init.d/sysklogd reload-or-restart
/etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd rotates these files every sunday as expected.

Your mail log files grow too large, baring the risk to fill up
the disk which is why they are rotated in the "middle" of the
regular cycle as well.
You can adjust this behaviour with the --large option of syslogd-listfiles.
