You appear to basically be doing routing in a filter file based on
header addresses. This is unlikely to work well. I also don't
understand the specific problem - is mail getting past unlogged, is it
getting through where it shouldn't etc..
What I would suggest would be a far easier to understand and more
maintainable solution, where the conditional data is put into an acl.

sender_host_address is not set for locally generated bounce messages.
Try a rcpt acl something along these lines:-
accept receipients = mail-list1@???:\
mail-list2@??? # add more as required
endpass
hosts = 195.188.239.74:212.219.213.36:212.219.213.39
!senders = : # refuse bounce messages
message = "not allowed"
The endpass ensures that anything for those recipients from a different
ip address, or with a null sender gets bounced.
The recipients list could be made some form of db lookup (as could the
hosts), or even a regexp. You could also add verification to taste.
The acl wants to be pretty high up the list - before generic accepts.
If you have local injection then you may need to do different things.
