Sounds as if you want a check_client_access map rather than
check_sender_access.
An IP address is a client property, not a sender property.

client - connecting IP and verified rDNS hostname
sender - MAIL FROM command given by client during SMTP, also usually
listed in the Return-Path: header. Sometimes confused with the From: header.
