Subject: RE: [Exim] [Feature request] Logging in data-ACL without dumping full headers to reject.log
I noticed some time ago the data acl does this. Add the following to
your section 1 config "log_selector = -rejected_header" or add the
"-rejected_header" to
your existing log_selector and the header logging should go away.
