Identd made it much easier to figure out who the : problem user was. Unfortunately, I've seen the dark side of identd which makes me *HATE* it with a passion. There have been several places that I worked that ran identd, but from which I never sent mail from. The spammers started hitting me there.... They got the address from the ident replies.... From this, I'm *NEVER* going to run a identd that gives out real names.... Hence "Warm-Fuzzy" in my fake script.
