regarding ident queries..

imo queries make sense to me if you're shelling out from one bbs to another, and could be used just like how irc uses it (block a specific user from a
bbs that behaves crazily, without banning the whole bbs)

perhaps go the other direction (if it's not already there) and allow blocking ip/ident pairs..

not sure why the ircd doesn't use it either.. it's specifically for identifying individuals on multiuser systems

*shrug* as usually "easy for me to say" :) .. just seems like supporting it fits the general concept of sync (which supports finger..)

Did I miss some sort of survey about this or something?

I (was) using this, but I guess I can figure a workaround.

No, but it's been documented as not-recommended, disabled by default and generally a bad idea.
If you really use/need this feature of the mail server (do you?), I would consider adding the ability for *authenticated* SMTP clients to send email directly to user numbers, but that could also lead to confusion (why does this email address work for some senders, but not others?).

No, I don't need it that bad, I was only using it myself and it can easily be worked around, was only using it to sign up to hulu for the 99cent subscription :-) I can easily alias some names for that in the future.. no issue, was just suprising.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure just putting "1@* 1@*" in your alias.cfg file would (as an example) allow receiving email (from anyone) to 1@yourhost.
