 Less complicated would be to set the From: of the outgoing mail with
the real mail adress of the user as extracted from either the
sourceforge database or the /etc/aliases file. What I don't know is if
fencepost will accept forged From: from subversions. Is it possible to
configure exim on fencepost to accept forged From: but only when they
come from subversions ? Is it acceptable from a security point of view ?

     Thanks,
