Yes.

The idea is that a remote machine can ask who (user) is connecting to it.
In this case, spamd can verify that the user calling it is the user that
spamc says it is.  Googling for "identd" brings up a bunch of results,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident has some good info.

No.  It has nothing to do with the rules.
