Hi Philip,

Thanks for the pointer. I only forgot to mention that I had read the
spec.txt.
My confusion is arising from the fact that this logging is not happening
in a 4.30 system as it's happening on a 4.31 system.
I am sorry I mentioned in my earlier posting that both boxes are running
4.30 (tm). That was incorrect. One box running 4.30 doesn't write the
"message" to the logs. It's the 4.31 that is writing to both
{main|reject}.log files.

The spec.txt assumes 4.30, correct? I am still confused.
To be precise, the rule I am running is here:

Thank you so much for your time.


        cheers
