It is really a problem that alioth has so much problems. And I don't
blame the admins. They do a good job.
I discovered a (new) problem with the mail configuration on alioth.
$ telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

I used this to send CVS commit to a mailing list using
/cvsroot/pcsclite/CVSROOT/syncmail Python script.
The output of the Python script is:
$ cvs commit hotplug_libusb.c
Checking in hotplug_libusb.c;
/cvsroot/pcsclite/PCSC/src/hotplug_libusb.c,v <-- hotplug_libusb.c

The access to alioth SMTP server seems to be very restricted. What is
the correct way to use it?
Unfortunately I am not an expert in Python (to change my script) or in
exim4 (to suggest a configuration patch).
Alioth is a very usefull tools to many projects. I volunteer to help if
any help is needed.
