Rule names not updating in logs

Hello,

I'm seeing in my rules which accepted email (rule: Whitelist)
The thing is I don't have a rule with that name.

Then in a case where I started renaming rules to include WHO or WHAT so we know which are working for our attempts to whitelist, the rule on the mail.log, does not reflect the current name, even after a reboot.

A good example is the WL-FromRules which was renamed prior to that message being delivered to WL-WHO or WHAT-FromRules.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I added a pic of my rules, and of some of the log matching rules:

Hello @hata_ph

Based on what you're telling me the RULES under mail filter is the name that will be placed in the log, and not the who/what object name?
This is what I didn't realize until you pointed it out since I had named mine the same initially.

I also had multiple who/what objects under the RULE, so now I'm splitting them out further to try and better identify what's working.

Thanks!

What rule does the Configuration->MailProxy->Whitelist show within the log?
It will show as whitelisted under syslog

Code:
Jul 07 12:13:22 pmg postfix/postscreen[91151]: WHITELISTED [218.208.xxx.xxx]:37062
