Works nicely:

    rdr pass proto tcp from any to any port 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 25
    pass out route-to (lo0 127.0.0.1) proto tcp from any to any port 25 user != 
mailnull

redirects the traffic. But as you say, the ident information is then lost
(ERROR : NO-USER). It looks very strange on a tcpdump, seeing ident packets
going from 127.0.0.1 to a real IP address and back again :-)

But with the magic of oidentd:

    # /usr/local/sbin/oidentd -P 127.0.0.1 -u nobody -g nogroup

and hey presto it works. Many thanks!

Brian.
