a connection owns services A, B, C, and sending to A is denied,

+ It does not make sense to deny a user or group inside a <policy>

+ context="default" or context="required" policies.

+ A single <deny> rule may specify both send and send_to, OR both
+ receive and receive_from. In this case, the denial applies only if
+ both attributes match the message being denied.
e.g. <deny send="foo.bar" send_to="foo.blah"/> would deny
messages of the given name AND to the given service.

Makes an exception to previous <deny> statements. Works
just like <deny> but with the inverse meaning.
