Some IRC services in the past have required it, but I never liked it
much, so I threw away the standard identd server program and replaced
it with my own homebrewed version.  If you're not interested in
actually returning useful identification information, writing your own
identd server is trivial.  Here's mine:

        #!/usr/bin/perl

        $in = <STDIN>;
        chop($in) if $in =~ /\n$/;
        chop($in) if $in =~ /\r$/;
        ($a, $b) = split(/\s*,\s*/, $in);
        $rand = sprintf("%03d", 1000 * rand());
        $output =  "$a , $b : USERID : UNIX : nunya$rand\r\n";
        # $output =  "$a , $b : USERID : UNIX : upyours\r\n";
        print $output;
        exit;

Then you redirect any mail to nunya-whatever into the spam traps.
