The "current" logs were now being written to as named.log.1, messages.1,
maillog.1.
But the files weren't recreated, and the postrotate scripts not run.
I looked in my /var/named/chroot/var/log/named dir, and found tons and
tons of logs with oddball numberings. I cleared them and will see how
that goes.

My named, maillog and messages logs have never rotated on a daily basis,

Are they actually being rotated? Or are they just being checked? My
maillog and syslog entries in /etc/logrotate.d don't have any time
designators, so they should go by the default in /etc/logrotate.conf.
In my case, that says "weekly". Yours should be the same. But the
logrotate job runs daily.
Logrotate keeps last-rotated dates in /var/lib/logrotate.status. If you
have the runaway rotation problem (see my other post in this thread),
it's possible that that's corrupted.
And no, it wasn't...my apologies...I usually do better. I can only note
that my 2 month old was crying as I wrote the second message, and forgot
to trim it down before sending it.

I should also point out that logrotate, although listed in cron.daily,
used to only rotate the logs on Sunday mornings. Now it tries to rotate
them every day...yet another unexpected behavior.
Most logs are rotated weekly, but some are not. See the individual
specs in /etc/logrotate.d.
Was quoting your *entire* previous message strictly necessary?
