net-lsearch is a fudge for host lists where the key that is to be looked
up is implicit. It says "use the IP address as the implicit key instead
of the host name". This is for use in constructions such as

hosts = net-lsearch;/some/file

What you are doing here is a normal lookup, where the key is explicit -
namely, $sender_host_address. So just use "lsearch".
