Yes, it appears that check_sender_mx_access performs table lookups for
each MX host, not just by name, but also by its IP addresses.  FWIW, I
don't think this is a good idea, I would have limited the lookup keys
to just the hostnames which are returned in a single DNS query.

Similar behaviour is shared with check_sender_ns_access and related
restrictions.
