as specified above:
CVS: "Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)"
SSH: OpenSSH_4.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005

no scripts.
I use emacs cvs mode.

I use loginfo to e-mail the commit information to a mailing list:
ALL     /cvsroot/sitedocs/CVSROOT/cvstools/syncmail -u -f users.sourceforge.net 
%{sVv} address@hidden

syncmail source code:

thanks for your reply.
