CBAC will not allow ESMTP either, AFAIK. If logging is enabled, it will 
log ESMTP attempts. We front-end our GroupWise & Exchange with Solaris 
running TrendMicros's AV product.

Again, logging on the PIX will show the ident attempts, if there are 
any. We've started openeing up ident on every IP that has SMTP open, 
just because of the mail servers that still use ident.
