Description Jesus Climent 2003-07-18 07:19:29 UTC 
It's common to use oidentd to produce random user names for identd
lookup. By default, it generates a rather long user name.

SpamAssassin misstates that the long user name is actually a long host
name, and gives it an exceptionally high rating:

Received: from pinkbits.internal

SPAM: SHORT_RECEIVED_LINE (4.3 points)  'Received:' contains huge hostname

That rule is already axed in the upcoming 2.60. (But I really wonder if such a 
user name has any use in the Received header expect from making it 
extraorbitantly long ;-)
