Which was pretty much a screwup for my filter too.
Rewrote it to the following, now it works perfectly:

sub filter_relay($$$) {
    my ($ip, $name, $helo) = @_;
    if ($ip eq "xx.xxx.xx.56" || $ip eq "xx.xxx.xx.57" || $ip eq "127.0.0.1") 
{
        return('ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING', "ok");
        }
    else {
        return ('CONTINUE', "ok");
        }
    }

Keep in mind: the machine has several static ips, so i had to match against 
any of them. I also included 127.0.0.1 as acceptable relay, as some mail 
seems to come from there - especially those newsletters generated locally 
which take up awfully much ressources and time when being scanned.

But the most important part should be the "else return('CONTINUE', "ok");"

As stated, works just fine over here.
