spamdyke won't log anything if a remote client disconnects without 
identifying a sender or recipient.  Prior to version 4.0, it wouldn't 
log anything if a message was delivered with TLS but that's been fixed.  
I can't think of any other situation where a delivery (or rejection) 
would not create a log entry.
