Is exit policy broken?

["Bob" <tor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi-
  I have the following statement in my exit policy:

ExitPolicy reject 66.35.250.0/24

This is the first line in my exit policy.
Yet, in my info file, I have several entries showing connections established
to *.slashdot.org:

Jun 30 06:47:44.171 [info] dnsworker_main(): Resolved address
'slashdot.org'.
Jun 30 06:47:44.187 [info] connection_add(): new conn type Exit, socket

And

Showing that a connection was established, used, closed and cleaned up.

Why is this happening?
