6.2: maillog grows, newsyslog's misbehaving ?

[Andreas Klemm]

Hi,

discovered that the maillog file on my freebsd Desktop
grows and grows (now at 50MB).

According to the newsyslog.conf file it should be trimmed
every night at midnight.

/var/log/maillog                        640  7     *    @T00  JC

Is it a prerequisite, that the system then runs 24x7 so that the
newsyslog default settings work ?

I would have expected, that the trimming then happens on the
next reboot, if the system doesn't run over midnight.
