After some tests I found the problem.
alioth rejects mails without a Return-path: header line. I agree it is
a normal behavior so the problem is not in Alioth mail configuration.
I will try to patch the syncmail [1] Python script but as I don't
know/use Python it may be difficult for me. Help accepted.
Another option is to install cvs-mailcommit Debian package on alioth but:
- this package is in testing/unstable and Alioth uses stable
- the Perl source code does not contain "Return-path:" so it may not
solve the problem, but patching Perl is easier for me.
Any Alioth admin is reading this?
