Not very long ago. The following entry is in the NewStuff file for the
next release:
2. There is a new ACL modifier called log_reject_target. It makes it possible
to specify which logs are used for messages about ACL rejections. Its
argument is a list of words which can be "main", "reject", or "panic". The
default is "main:reject". The list may be empty, in which case a rejection
is not logged at all. For example, this ACL fragment writes no logging
information when access is denied:
deny <some conditions>
log_reject_target =
The modifier can be used in SMTP and non-SMTP ACLs. It applies to both
permanent and temporary rejections.
You can have this functionality now (and help the general testing
process) by running the latest snapshot:
