This sounds like you have created "drop", "deny", "discard", and/or "defer"
ACL rules which don't contain a "log_message" modifier. [This is explained in
section 42 of the manual.]

The above "localhost.localdomain" looks unusual; usually what should be here
is the name received from an RDNS query, after which (IIRC) a forward DNS
lookup is done on the name to see if the IP address matches -- and if no IP
address comes back at all, that's when the above warning occurs.
I'm mentioning this because it's also typical to make ACL rules to reject
email from a remote sender that uses the name "localhost", since doing so is
false information.
