It wouldn't be compatible with peoples configs. You'd need to have a new
variable. Something like $sender_host_ptr. However, why bother writing
new code and adding further config options when the capability already
exists in dnsdb. Feels like bloat to me.

By your definition of, "lighter," yes.

It seems that everybody so far has disagreed with you. I'd suggest you
add your negative vote to the whishlist item, but that doesn't look
possible unfortunately.
