There is nothing missing. All the LASTEXT* tags are already dynamically returning functions. If anything, that if ($lasthop) set_tag code is completely redundant and should be removed.
BEGIN { LASTEXTERNALIP => sub { my $pms = shift; my $lasthop = $pms->{relays_external}->[0]; $lasthop ? $lasthop->{ip} : ''; }, LASTEXTERNALRDNS => sub { my $pms = shift; my $lasthop = $pms->{relays_external}->[0]; $lasthop ? $lasthop->{rdns} : ''; }, LASTEXTERNALHELO => sub { my $pms = shift; my $lasthop = $pms->{relays_external}->[0]; $lasthop ? $lasthop->{helo} : ''; }, On Wed, Nov 27, 2019 at 10:18:20AM -0500, Kevin A.
