I agree, but fixing that will require hacking the main sources.  The
problem is that currently there is no place to record a reason in the
"event" that occurs when a message is discarded.  I don't think it is
"hard", but it will require one of the core developers.

If you can explain what it is you want, then a post to the bug tracker
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=103 would probably help a lot of
people (I think anybody who hasn't lost data to an inappropriate
wildcard probably never had any data to lose!), if something can be
implemented.  Besides the basic "log the rule" request, the important
thing I can think of is where you would expect to see the log message.

There's a similar existing bug at

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=908819&group_id=103&atid=100103

and a related patch

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=869394&group_id=103&atid=300103

Neither is quite what you asked for, though.
