If you have a reject message in the log, they didn't use your server. You know, "reject" = "not accept" = "go away, don't use my server"... Just on the log message you sent, the message had zero bytes and no recipients, which means there was no message and they didn't use your server. The reject message should show you WHY you rejected it which may help you to understand what your server does and does not allow.
