[Cvs-syncmail] using the CVSROOT/users file for from address

[Duane M. <du...@is...>]

I like syncmail, but I'm having a problem I hope maybe has been resolved =
before.  I thought about modifying the script to do this myself, but I'm =
not that proficient in Python, so I thought I would see if what I want =
has already been done or considered on this list.

I need the email sent by syncmail to come from the user's email address =
who is checking in the file.  This is so we can integrate with our JIRA =
issue/bug tracking system.  I have set up the CVSROOT/users file to map =
CVS user names to actual email addresses, but it appears as if syncmail =
is always using "cv...@cv..." (for instance) as the SMTP =
return address.  My MTA keeps rejecting the email because it doesn't =
recognize the "cv...@cv..." as a valid email address.  If I =
can get the return address to show up as val...@ou... =
(again, for example), the MTA will recognize it (and so will our =
issue-tracking system), but I can't seem to force syncmail to do this =
easily.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
