Thanks Mark. I think you've hit the nail on the head and this also
explains why it sometimes works normally for them - not often but the
users claim every once in awhile it goes right through with no delay. I
just tried to do a reverse lookup of the IP address of the client and it
hung and eventually timed out. What is the best solution to this? To
somehow cache these addresses or is there a way to turn off this reverse
lookup?
thanks,

Is there any other way imapd or inetd can be issuing ident queries?
The other thing that you could look at is seeing if you are encountering
DNS timeouts. Can imapd do a reverse lookup on both its own IP address
and on the client IP address without it taking forever?
