I've been probing my XMail SMTP filter by sending spam to myself. XMail's logging is so-so. Here's XMail bouncing my spam.

""      "nXtXeXeXiX.com"        "XXX.XX.XXX.XX" "2004-10-05 13:00:17"
"kkkkk.nXtXeXeXiX.com"  "nXtXeXeXiX.com"        "zzzz@nXtXeXeXiX.com"
"aaaa@nXtXeXeXiX.com"   "SE6"   "RCPT=OK"       ""      "0"     ""

""      "nXtXeXeXiX.com"        "XXX.XX.XXX.XX" "2004-10-05 13:00:17"
"kkkkk.nXtXeXeXiX.com"  "nXtXeXeXiX.com"        "zzzz@nXtXeXeXiX.com"
"aaaa@nXtXeXeXiX.com"   "SE6"   "DATA=EFILTER"  ""      "0"     ""

The interesting parts are "RCPT=OK" and "DATA=EFILTER". This means the SMTP server was ok with the recipient but rejected the data.

Comparatively, Postfix is more informative:
