The first line is written when a sender verify fails. This does not have
to be in response to a RCPT command. It might be on a MAIL command; it
could even be at the DATA stage. The code that is doing the sender
verification doesn't know where it is being called from, and even if it
*is* called at the RCPT stage, the failure may not cause a rejection.
The second line tells you that a RCPT command was rejected.
I could add a logging option to disable the first message. This could
mean that nothing was logged when a sender verify failed. But if that's
what people want...
