It's never been mandatory for SMTP.  Some IRC servers do require it,
though.

Personally, I prefer not to reveal the usernames behind the client
connections I'm making, so I use nullidentd.  It's very simplistic; it
just returns a constant string for all ident requests.  (It doesn't
appear to be in ports; I simply grabbed the source code from
packages.debian.org/nullidentd and built it myself.)
