If you don't want ident to give out username information for your
network, stop running ident.

Alternatively for pidentd at least use the crypto patches so that the
returned stamp is an opaque encrypted cookie. This can be decoded on a
machine that has the original key to get the decrypted payload data.

Exim is the wrong place to fix this problem.
