Moving in Circles
The funniest thing that one can do when googling (translates searching for help/info using google) is to find your own website. In the last 3 weeks I have hit my own website 3 times seearching for info on setting up various programs on linux. The most recent was because my brother was having troubles connecting to our smtp server using his Treo. My own post talked about problems with ident. Sure enough, Cingular has a blanket firewall that blocks most everything. So the mail server could not send ident requests to the Treo. Turning off ident still didnt solve the problem. I tried also setting
rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s
smtp_enforce_sync = false
but that still did not solve the problem. According to the exim logs the client just disconnects. So I guess some client side debugging may be in order. In the future, I need to add more info on my posts so that if i do come back to them, i can actually understand the problem and the solution I found.

just put ! in front of * in
rfc1413_hosts = *
so you’ll get
rfc1413_hosts = !*
and Exim will use null list of hosts to check ident.
