SUSE 10.3 and postfix/pflogsumm/logrotate

[pto44128]

Per Falko's recommendation I have installed pflogsumm on my SUSE 10.3 Postfix based mail server, The SUSE implementation of logrotate adds a date stamp to the compressed log file name. As in maillog-20080314.bz2.
I would like to keep this format for the other logs generated.
The example postfix_report.sh I have has the file name for the compressed mail log hard coded (mail.log.0.bz2). Since the compressed SUSE mail log name changes, My script postfix_report does not work.
I can run the postfix_report script manually, if I go in and edit the script and put in the current compressed mail log file name. pflogsumm is generating the proper info and passing it to postfix for delivery OK.
Is there a way to...
A: modify the postfix_report.sh to add the date variable to the mail log file name it accesses?
B: Create an additional cron job creating a specific mail.log.0 file to be used by the postfix_report.sh and pflogsumm?
This level of scripting is beyond my limited ability !

Also: Are there any links out there to an explanation of how the SUSE implementation of logrotate actually works?

Thanks in advance

Instead of using

pflogsumm /var/log/maillog.0 | formail -c -I"Subject: Mail Statistics" -I"From: pflogsumm@localhost" -I"To: postmaster@example.com" -I"Received: from www.example.com ([192.168.0.100])" | sendmail postmaster@example.com

in the /usr/local/sbin/postfix_report.sh script, you can try this:

yesterdaysdate=`/bin/date -d "1 day ago" +%Y%m%d`
pflogsumm /var/log/maillog-${yesterdaysdate} | formail -c -I"Subject: Mail Statistics" -I"From: pflogsumm@localhost" -I"To: postmaster@example.com" -I"Received: from www.example.com ([192.168.0.100])" | sendmail postmaster@example.com

Thank You
I will attempt implemenatation of your suggestions shortly

Additional issue with SUSE and logrotate.....
I left my current logrotate script running over the weekend to verify what I had was working.
To my surprise, the mail log is not being rotated daily as configured in /etc/logrotate.conf. (regardless of file name)
If I add the -f switch to force a rotation, it works.
Is there an additional configuration file I don't know about??

Take a look at the /etc/logrotate.d directory.
