Not very long ago. The following entry is in the NewStuff file for the 
next release:

2. There is a new ACL modifier called log_reject_target. It makes it possible
   to specify which logs are used for messages about ACL rejections. Its
   argument is a list of words which 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 =

   The modifier can be used in SMTP and non-SMTP ACLs. It applies to both
   permanent and temporary rejections.

You can have this functionality now (and help the general testing 
process) by running the latest snapshot:
