Send Mail reports show incorrect data

The server log file mask was set to "syslog"

For example:

MessageStats is gathering from syslog file  at 13:00 UTC time. Syslog file is currently use for logging event.

Every end of the day, syslog will get archived. When the next day MessageStats gather the syslog file, it will lost event from 13:00 to 00:00.

This will effect the accuracy of all the reports.

The most recent archived syslog file ends with .0 (that is, logfile.0), the next most recent ends with .1 (that is, logfile.1), and so forth.
By default, ten versions of old log files are kept (that is, logfile.0 through logfile.9) and logadm automatically deletes the oldest version when appropriate to keep the count of files at ten

There are tow possible resolutions to this problem

Resolution 1:
Change the server log file path to syslog.0 and configure it  to gather yesterdays syslog.

Resolution 2:

Change the server log file path to syslog.*
