This is a logic problem, one of my making I believe.  Before this list
was open to any random email, which led to spam.  When someone commits
to cvs, it generates an email using your [email protected], which if
not subscribed to the list, is rejected.  Any email sent to your
[email protected] goes to your regular email adress.  In my case,
[email protected] goes to [email protected].

So, everyone is subscribed to the cvs list by their public email
address, and those that commit regularly are subscrised also by their
tigris.org email address, which forwards to their regular email
address.

The best solution is for tigris/collabnet to be smart and not email
the original commiter.  They get this right for things like
submissions to list, and any message that I mod through doesn't come
to me twice, so the cvs thing is something I am going to log as a bug.

The interim solution is for anyone with a tigris.org email address
subscribed to the cvs list to unsubscribe their regular email address
from [email protected].  They will still receive messages as
before, but you loose the functionality of sending emails to
[email protected] from your regular email account.  Granted, if
you do, it would get modded through by either Paul or myself, just
with human factor delays.

You can unsubscribe your regular email by sending a blank message to
[email protected]

I hope this helps,
