 The problem happens when subversions sends a mail to a mailman list
from a user that is known to subversions but not to fencepost. Please
forgive my ignorance on the subject, I have no clue about what's really
happening on the fencepost side. All I know is that the mail sent from
subversions is From: address@hidden and that whenever user is not
known by fencepost the mail gets rejected.
