Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly.
If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified

the log is cleared from the firewall's memory. If the firewall cannot e-mail the log file, the log
buffer may fill up. In this case, the firewall overwrites the log and discards its contents.
