I think you misunderstood where the "few minutes" happens. Their IP
address would immediately get added to the list of valid addresses, and
would be removed a few minutes later (to protect against spam from a
different user who later happens to get the same IP address).

Certainly not! identd answers the question "what information does the
sysadmin feel like providing about this connection", not anything like
"what is the real user name".
Philip: Please could we be allowed to do "lsearch;/some/file" in
sender_net_accept_relay.
