The first line is written when a sender verify fails. This does not have 
to be in response to a RCPT command. It might be on a MAIL command; it 
could even be at the DATA stage. The code that is doing the sender 
verification doesn't know where it is being called from, and even if it 
*is* called at the RCPT stage, the failure may not cause a rejection.

The second line tells you that a RCPT command was rejected.

I could add a logging option to disable the first message. This could 
mean that nothing was logged when a sender verify failed. But if that's 
what people want...
