[lug] Can't send email to uswest domain

[John Hernandez]

For Internet security, identd seems pointless.  I agree with Nate and
wish they would give it up.  It's like being asked by a telemarketer for
your name and address.  Or the classic "Sign up to download".  I rarely
see any good reason to tell the truth.  Why bother?
