log_reject_target = <log name list>
This modifier makes it possible to specify which logs are used for
messages about ACL rejections. Its argument is a colon-separated list
of words that 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 =
This modifier can be used in SMTP and non-SMTP ACLs. It applies to
both permanent and temporary rejections. Its effect lasts for the rest
of the current ACL.

Do keep thinking about things and experimenting. It gets much easier
once you become familiar with the important parts of the manual, which
for me are Chapters 11, 15, 24, and 42 :-) I can usually find what I
want, or a reference to what I want from one of those chapters.
