No, I am sorry, I mixed things up, because I was writing this message
and changing my config at the same time.

In fact, I had

logwrite = DENY - Sender verification failed ($sender_address)

when I saw these messages in the log about sender addresses that
actually passed sender verification (or should have, anyway). I changed
it to log_message later.

Never mind, I'll just fiddle, mangle and fudge my config a little more
:-) Thanks.
