	Yes, and changeing
		SMTPOPTIONS="-asve -M 10000000 -l /var/log/mail/smtpserver"
	to
		SMTPOPTIONS="-sve -M 10000000 -l /var/log/mail/smtpserver"

	should help too.  At Telecom Finland we run without the ident lookup
	(-a) active at the server.  Since then we have had no problems.

	I don't remember, when I added the ident lookup...  ChangeLog
	leads me to believe it was before 2.90.x ...

	Interesting, I should compare 2.99.13 and 2.99.36 smtpservers
	(or libidents) to see what they do differently.

	Of course the question may relate on the "-a" option at the
	runtime parameters too..
