Yes, we agree. Maybe we should spell this out for the OP.

CIDR type entries (1.2.3.4/netmask) are only useful in a cidr: table.
CIDR entries cannot be used in hash tables.

Only check_client_access deals with client IP addresses.
A check_sender_access table will never match an IP address regardless
of table type.

check_client_access = check the connecting client IP or verified
hostname. Recorded in the topmost Received: header.
check_helo_access = name given by the client in the HELO or EHLO
command. Recorded in the topmost Received: header.
check_sender_access = sender MAIL FROM address given by the
client. Also usually recorded in the Return-Path: header.
check_recipient_access = recipient RCPT TO address given by the
client. No relation to any header.
