Mail server on alioth too restrictive?

[Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr>]

Hello,

I used to send CVS commits to a mailing list using a Python script
(syncmail). But the mail configuration changed and the mails are now
refused by alioth mail server.

  rousseau@haydn:~$ telnet localhost smtp
  Trying 127.0.0.1...
  Connected to localhost.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  220 haydn.debian.org ESMTP Exim 4.34 (Debian) Fri, 27 Aug 2004 14:18:25 -0600
  helo localhost
  250 haydn.debian.org Hello localhost [127.0.0.1]
  mail from: rousseau@alioth.debian.org
  250 OK
  rcpt to: pcsclite-cvs-commit@lists.alioth.debian.org

  test
  .
  550 Administrative prohibition
  quit
  221 haydn.debian.org closing connection
  Connection closed by foreign host.

And the Python script tells me:
  $ cvs commit MANIFEST 
  Checking in MANIFEST;
  /cvsroot/muscleplugins/MCardApplet/MANIFEST,v  <--  MANIFEST
  new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2

      blast_mail(subject, people, specs[1:], contextlines, fromhost)
    File "/cvsroot/muscleplugins/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 243, in
  blast_mail
      resp = conn.sendmail(author, people, s.getvalue())
    File "/usr/lib/python2.1/smtplib.py", line 497, in sendmail
      raise SMTPDataError(code, resp)
  smtplib.SMTPDataError: (550, 'Administrative prohibition')

Is it my fault or the mail configuration is too restrictive on alioth?

I already reported [1] a similar, but different, problem the last time
alioth had a stability problem.

Thanks,
