Will try to reproduce that tomorrow. Did you try it with 1.3.2, too?

IgnoreHosts is meant to ignore all mails from a given IP address, not from
a domain. It might be used to ignore mails from a backup MX, that does
DMARC handling by itself and passes the scanned mails to the primary MX,
which should not do DMARC checks again, as they would fail.

IgnoreHosts:     ignore mail from an IP address
IgnoreMailFrom:  ignore mail from a domain
