This is a bad interaction with the original planning and the later
addition and usage of "warn". And I think there is also a bug. Because a
message may have many RCPTs, identical log_message lines are suppressed
so that you don't get repetitions such as "host X is in a black list"
many times. However, I think it's a bug that the cache of logged lines
is not being reset for new messages. I will investigate this in due
course.

Yes, that's a good workaround.

Thanks for the comments. I will try to improve the relevant wording when
I next update the manual. The addition of things like "set" has changed
the ACL processing, and made the documentation unclear, I agree.
(But I think you have figured out what happens, so I won't spend time on
it here.)
