I assume you are talking about a system filter here. Presumably you have
used the "logfile" command to specify that "logwrite" should actually
write to the rejectlog file. There is no code in Exim to note this as a
special case - it works exactly the same as it does for user filters. It
writes exactly what you tell it to write to the file you specify.

In that situation, Exim knows it is writing to its own log, and uses its
log-writing function, which adds the TOD etc.

Have you noticed the "log_message" qualifier for the ACLs?
