How about using mail aliases? Just a thought. Depending on the mta you could use something like a .forward file or an alias in the alias file to accomplish that. Just have all mail sent from the cvs system *or the user checkign in code) forwarded to some other mail address. Oh wait, bumpy doesn't have an MTA, so never mind... unless you want it relaying things. Sigh. There goes my idea.
