Just so we're clear, you would like maillog to rotate once every 2 days, correct? If that's the case, change the "D0" you currently have to "48@T01"; this set the interval for rotation to 48 hours, and specify the role time as 1AM. (Change the "T01" to whenever you'd really like it to run.) You could also just specify "48", in which case that would be 48 hours from the last time it was rolled.
