There are a few ways.
Not using C: Use actual unix commands instead of C library functions. Two of the methods are using grep on the /etc/hosts file, and using nslookup/dig. In a C program, you can use these via popen and fread/fgets/fscanf on the file pointer returned by popen.
Using C: Take a look at the man page of gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr.

NAME
qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries SYNOPSIS
qmail-lspawn defaultdelivery DESCRIPTION
qmail-lspawn reads a series of local delivery commands from descriptor 0, invokes qmail-local to perform the deliveries, and prints the results to descriptor 1. It passes defaultdelivery to qmail-local as the default delivery instruction. qmail-lspawn invokes qmail-local asynchronously, so the results may not be in the same order as the commands. For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds out which local user controls that address. It first checks the qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not listed there, it invokes qmail-getpw. qmail-lspawn then runs qmail-local under the user's uid and gid. It does not set up any supplementary groups. qmail-lspawn treats an empty mailbox name as a trash address. SEE ALSO
