How mails are sent from within Savannah

The 'internal' vserver (10.0.0.101) is the reference mail server.

In particular, there is a Savane cron job there to create alias tables: 
'/etc/aliases' and '/etc/email-adresses'.
This is used to map Unix user accounts to an outgoing e-mail, based on the 
'email' field in the user's Savane account.
alias tables are only updated in 'internal'.

All other systems delegate sending mail to 'internal'.

 * accounts, builder, frontend, sftp, vcs-noshell _and_ the host/dom0: an exim4 
system is configured (see infra/exim_forwarder.txt):

  * smarthost = 10.0.0.101

  * QUEUERUNNER='queueonly'

 * ZWiki: /MailHost object, SMTP Host = 10.0.0.101
