Yes, that's working as intended, see the milter-regex(8) man page:
LOGGING
milter-regex sends log messages to syslogd(8) using facility
daemon and, with increasing verbosity, level err, notice, info
and debug.
Then see your /etc/syslog.conf, which defines what messages are stored
in what files
*.=debug /var/log/debug.log
If you don't want anything logged to debug.log, you can simply comment
out that line. Or you can have syslogd continue to log all debug
messages to the file _except_ those from milter-regex, see
syslog.conf(5) for the syntax ('!-prog', with FreeBSD syslogd).
