the dnslookup router runs first anre prepares a list of IP address
from the DNS MX record(s) for the recipient's domain.

the ignore_target_hosts condition then prunes the list, and if there
are any addresses remaining the router succeeds and the address list
is passed on to the indicated transport. if the list is empty the
router defers and the next router is tried.
