It would be very easy to change but I'm not sure DENIED_BY_OTHER would 
make it more clear.  Since all of the other DENIED messages are for 
spamdyke's filters, DENIED_BY_OTHER could easily mean "denied by some 
other spamdyke filter".  To be of real value, any change would have to 
be very very explicit, like 
DENIED_BY_SOME_OTHER_PROGRAM_BUT_ALLOWED_BY_SPAMDYKE.  That seems a 
little silly. :)

I'm hesitant to make this kind of change anyway, because it will break 
any monitoring or graphing scripts people may be using; I try to make 
each release backwards compatible if possible.  When I can't do that, I 
increment the major version number (e.g. 2.6.3 become 3.0.0) to indicate 
a significant change.

If anyone can't figure out what the log messages mean, I'm afraid 
they'll just have to consult the documentation.
