Well, it's their HowTo, so I don't see that this is something that we 
should (or could) be updating ourselves.

That said, it might be a good idea to put a note in our FAQ Wizard 
warning people about the risks of IDENT.  This isn't really a Mailman 
thing per se, more of an MTA issue, but it is still something that 
people running Mailman servers might run into.
