The most common cause of these logging rules in my case is VA including
sourceforge. Their servers do a probe to verify the sender does exist and
that the given server also will take mail for the postmaster of that
account.
If they can not verify the sender they claim their mailserver will no
accept the message.
It could be that this behaviour is spreading.

Don't meddle in the affairs of sysadmins,
for they are subtle and quick to anger.
