Wrong. The Windows/Mac machines don't run anything on port 113, this is
true. But they can and do respond with a "Connection Refused" response to
hits on that port. The sendmail server gets this response and continues on
w/ the connection w/o delay. The problem w/ computers behind NAT is the
sendmail server gets NO response back, the ident connection request goes
to the bit bucket on the Pipeline.
