I know that this is in the pf faq but I don't think that you really need it. I don't 
know about IRC but you mentioned only SMTP on your side.

I'm running emailservers for years now and never ran an identd. And my clients don't 
have an identd running either. I don't think that you need this for smtp nowadays.
