Log file - permission

Log file - permission - Mandrake Linux 8.2
Dear all
I have installed Openwebmail 1.64 on Mandrake Linux 8.2. This application creates a log file at /var/log with the name openwebmail.log. The application needs that the permission of this log file should be as follows:
owner - root
group - mail
mode - 660
Even though i set the parameters of the file as above, the parameters changes as below after a gap of 25 minutes, automatically, thus preventing the Openwebmail application to write to the /var/log/openwebmail.log file.
owner - root
group - root
mode - 640

I don't know meaning of the character "s" in "rws" above. I have searched in Sun admin documents but no result. Would you please explain it ? :)
