IIRC you use 'log_message' to get a specific error message in the log file.
The 'message' line you have above will still show up in the 550 error though.
Try it out using telnet and you should see what you expect. So:

deny
    message This shows up in 550
    log_message This shows up in log
    !verify = reverse_host_lookup


You will still get the 'rejected RCPT' line in the log too. At least this is
how I do it b/ I prefer a different message in the logs as opposed to the 550
message.

Hope this helps.
