Try turning on debugging in the MLF processor.  That will tell exactly what
it thinks your address is when it's performing the access checks.

A typical mistake is to specify your address in upper case in the
MX configuration, when MX actually generates lower-case addresses (it's
just the username part where that's significant).  Another is to specify
what you think the host name is, when MX thinks it is something different.

Whatever the problem is, turning on MX_MLF_DEBUG and checking out the
resulting log file from one of your ADD attempts will probably tell you
exactly what's wrong.
