 To set up logs to be prefixed with the date, such as 20030215-smtpserver.log, 
the following definition can be used -
 
-{{{      <file id="James-target"> }}}
-{{{        <B><filename>d:/Transfer/James/logs/20</filename></B> }}}
-{{{        <format>%{time:dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss} %5.5{priority}%{category}:

 Note the way the filename element is used and how the descriptive name is set 
with the suffix attribute. The same rules governing <I>hourly</I> rotation as 
described above still apply; this is just another way to represent the log file 
names.
