Hi,

The spec (44.21) says "the effect of log_reject_target lasts for the
rest of the current ACL". I'm afraid this is not quite clear enough.

First, does this mean that here nothing will be logged:

acl_check_rcpt:

warn log_reject_target =

deny condition = true

Second, what about nested ACLs? Both with the acl= condition
and with the ${acl .. } expansion. Is the value of log_reject_target
restored upon return to the top level ACL?

I've not tried that, but at first sight yes.
Why are you asking?

The value is reset to default on an expansion condition or item which
calls an ACL, and on any of the top-level ACL calls specified by
main-config options. It is not reset for or after an "acl=" ACL
condition (i.e. a nested ACL call)/

I was not sure I was interpreting the expression "current ACL" correctly.
Things like warn and deny are what, ACL rules?

Verbs. See

section 18.

For hunting about for info like this, use the Concept Index.
