Following Sylvain's changes to address
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106478 the envelope now is always
address@hidden  I attach the headers for your convenience.

BTW, the problem is not only with CVS repositories -- Sylvain can tell
about the other scenarios (GNU Arch, GNU Bzr, Subversion, Mercurial,
Git, and probably some time next year Darcs).

Just a thought...  Why don't you whitelist all mail that originates
from Savannah?  All of it should be completely legitimate (except the
trackers' spam which the present size limitation does not catch
anyway).
