That the rest of that text suggests that some of the the people
responsible for sendmail think as little of that as I think of RMX
seems like yet another irrelevancy.
ident has gained some usefulness again: it can be used to block
squids and CacheFlowServer (misconfigured open proxies).
RMX is different (see Hadmut's response to Dave's comparison
of RMX and ident).
