For those of you who don't read this thingy they sent out, see the below abridged version. We might need to create a checkins list with a single member, python-checkins@python.org :) The same goes for other projects hosted at SF, such as Mailman or whatever your pet project is. ----- Forwarded message from Mailer <noreply@sourceforge.net> ----- Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 16:26:25 -0700 From: Mailer <noreply@sourceforge.net> To: "" <thomas@xs4all.net> Subject: SOURCEFORGE.NET UPDATE - 2001-09-26 [ snip ] 5) SF.NET E-MAIL POLICY CHANGES [ snip ] SENDING EMAIL FROM SOURCEFORGE.NET SERVERS SourceForge.net has seen an increase in abuse of site resources by spammers over the past few months. As result, steps are being taken to prevent most SourceForge.net servers from sending e-mail outside the SourceForge.net site; this will compartmentalize any issues which remain present. The following SourceForge.net domains will still be able to receive e-mail from SourceForge.net hosts: - sourceforge.net (also sf.net) - lists.sourceforge.net (lists.sf.net) - users.sourceforge.net (users.sf.net) This policy change has been active on the project shell servers for the past couple of months. In the next month, this change will be implemented on the project CVS servers. If your project currently makes use of syncmail (or similar mechanisms) to send e-mail when CVS commits occur, please take notice of this change. It will be necessary for all e-mail originating from the project CVS servers to be directed to a SourceForge.net user account (username@users.sourceforge.net) or to a SourceForge.net-hosted mailing list.
