Sounds more like it is only a problem on the _day_ DST changes. DST usually changes at 02:00, so I'm guessing that on the day of change, when a new log is being rotated, the new day is having 1 hour adjusted when the file name is being calculated at 00:00 (day change) This should not occur, until 02:00 (dst change). There is a possible problem: lets say you have hourly log rotations, at 02:00 when the time changes back, does xmail open the 01:00 log and append? The scenario of adding 1 hour is not a problem, there will be one log 'missing', because the hour was skipped -02:00 became 03:00
