Thanks to all for the thorough replies. It appears that the solution actually lies in disabling ident. In Exim, this is achieved by setting the timeout to 0. #rfc1413_query_timeout = 30s rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s I may go back and turn it on again with a smaller timeout (suggestions as to how long is reasonable?).
