You can set rfc1413_query_timeout to zero to disable ident lookups
completely, then you'll get no ident= line at all. If that's not good
enough, you might be able to put a fake ident=anonymous in there by
setting received_header_text appropriately. (use `exim -bP` to get the
default, and edit it as needed.)
