Why in emtpd rather than, say, esmtpd-msa? > Ident service [is] easily spoofed, and so is rather useless for security, I just run nullidentd in an attempt to quicken relaying to some hosts. > and when I see it used it generally causes more problems than it solves. I don't actually "use" it, but I'm not sure delaying external relays is always a problem. (Compare, e.g., to greylisting.) Besides delay, do you know about other problems that may be caused -or solved- by ident? Enabling it may affect the log lines and message headers, but then I don't know how I could use that data.
