  Because it describes how the Post-Auth-Type Reject section works.

  Note: no text saying "it magically doesn't log User-Names"

  Because we haven't seen it before, right?

  No... they're annoyed at people who ask questions that are answered in
the documentation.

  Are you really implying I haven't spent 12 years writing free software
and helping people?  If that is what you're implying, I have nothing
polite to say to you.  If that's not what you're implying, then you're
admitting that the question is rude and inflammatory.

  Honestly, why are so many people insistent on pissing off the people
who help them for free?  You're getting free software, free support, and
free bug fixes.  Yet that isn't good enough.  We have to spend MORE time
because the answers we give aren't good enough for you.

  Why not just unsubscribe?  If you insist on denigrating me, I'll just
do it for you.
