I think you missed the subtlety there. I proposed using "log_message", not
"message". For example:

deny malware = *
     message = This message contains a virus ($malware_name)
     log_message = Virus found ($malware_name) to $recipients


Note how you can put a different message in your log to that which you
send to the remote side. A very useful feature, especially because you can
put a shorter message in your logs whilst sending a more verbose reason to
the remote end.
