You mean starting from the email domain, looking up MX record(s) and
getting one or more A record(s), then looking up those A records to
get one or more IP(s) - finally looking up IP(s) in a local blacklist
(or in DNSRBLs - having reversed the ordering of the octets!). And at
each stage, possibly getting silly or anomalous answers out of the
DNS...

Quite so! and it's something which exim has to do internally anyway -
at least as far as looking up the A records to get IPs - which is why
it seemed so genial to tag along with that ignore_target-Hosts
mechanism.
