No.

I agree.

Since I started using Postfix in 2005, I've come across situations where
it would have been nice to enable logging of certain permit actions,
sometimes just temporarily, other times more permanently; the former to
aid troubleshooting, the latter for historical data analysis.

In today's case, I'd like to be able to see which/how many clients are
being permitted due to permit_dnswl_client so I can evaluate the
performance/effectiveness of list.dnswl.org.

What if we gave all permit_*_* parameters  an optional logging mode?
What would be the scope of such an effort?  Could we do something like

log_permit_dnswl_client

similar to we can use a service name here

slow_destination_concurrency_limit?

I counted only a dozen or so permit_ parameters in postconf(5).
