Package: exim4

Severity: important

If using the rfc1413 protocol exim do request many many time the ident
service (5-100) for every mail.

This could be seen as DOS for the remote host.

Hi,

after several debugging I found the problem. In exim it has only shown
as no other service is using the auth (113) from extern.

The problem is that I have a masquerated host internely and whant to
forward such requests. So I use bidentd.

As far as good. It work well for connections from the masquerated host.
But if I send a mail from the front mashin itselfs it rekusively ask
hisself for ident.

So this bug can be closed.

Gruß
   Klaus
