Transaction Filter - not working..

I've just added this to my transaction filter and it seems to be ignored..

 
H, "*xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*", X, "Allow Access."
H, "*mail.domain.com*", X, "Allow Access."

 Yet mail from this host is still being filtered by other entries in the transaction filter..

 
What have I done wrong ?

Thanks

From the transflt.mer file:

# Action is one or more characters indicating the action MercuryS should
# take when the expression is matched: the first character in the action
# can be one of the following:
#
#    'R' to refuse the transaction and block all subsequent commands
#    'F' to fail the current command only (allow further attempts)
#    'D' to drop the connection immediately with no error response
#    'B' to issue an error response then drop the connection immediately.
#    'L' to log a system message
#    'X' to stop this phase of transaction filtering for this message
#    'S' to suppress all transaction filtering stages for this message.     
#
# The difference between 'R' and 'F' is that 'R' will cause all subsequent
# delivery commands in the session to be refused, while 'F' will only fail
# the current command - other commands may still be permitted.
#
# The 'D' and 'B' commands essentially do the same thing, but the 'B'
# command does it more politely. Use 'B' if there's any possibility that
# the connected machine is actually legitimate, because it gives at least
# some level of feedback to the sender or administrator.
#
# To understand the difference between 'X' and 'S', you need to be aware
# that transaction filtering is done in several "passes", each pass testing
# a different state of the SMTP transaction. The 'X' action only exits from
# the current pass, meaning that future passes will still take place. The
# 'S' action, however, exits from the current pass and suppresses all
# further transaction filtering on the message altogether.
