If you are interested in placing this in SQL, you can use something like:
select 1 from <table> where '$sender_hostname' RLIKE <column>
Just make sure you use REGEXPs that the SQL server expects. MySQL doesn't
support the full range of extended regexps.

You can also have mysql do the CIDR matching for you. There is a function
to convert an IP into a 32bit int and you can use bitwise AND to mask the IP
and check against the data in the column.
I used to have exim retrieve all rows and convert a new line into a :
After a while, it gets to a point (as you already know) where the list is
too big.
