Those are long standing messages that are logged when a post is rejected
or discarded via the admindb CGI or discarded by the user via the
confirm CGI. They haven't changed in years. They are multi-line as in

Aug 03 09:32:29 2013 (23645) LISTNAME: Discarded posting:
	From: user at example.com
	Subject: Specialized Stumpjumper for sale
	Reason: Non-members are not allowed to post messages to this list.

The change in 2.1.16 that you reference produces messages like:

Aug 02 22:31:55 2013 (26451) Message rejected, msgid:
<xxx-xxx-xxx at gmail.com>
        list: LISTNAME,
        handler: Moderate,
        reason: ...

The reason is provided by the handler. It is nonmember_rejection_notice
or a canned message in the case of a non-member reject and a canned
message in the case of other auto rejects.
