[Mimedefang] Bypassing outgoing mail - filter_relay blocking all incomming mail

I also want to allow locally originating messages to bypass the 
SpamAssassin filter so, as instructed here, I've added

sub filter_relay ($$$) {
    my ($ip, $name, $helo) = @_;
    return ('ACCEPT_NO_MORE_FILTERING', "ok") if $ip eq "x.x.x.x";
}

to mimedefang-filter just above the SA filter section. Now my local mail 
does not get filtered by SpamAssassin. But all incomming mail is 
rejected by filter_relay. Did I miss something? I did set 
MX_RELAY_CHECK. Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,
Rick Knight
