Yes, and you certainly want any logging rules before any ignoring rules,
because not only will such connections be ignored (not connecting),
they'll never get logged, either.

On the other hand, if you want to log things that got past your
firewall, then you do want logging rules set after firewall rules.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
