cvs commit problem

[Gyepi SAM]

Looks like sourceforge uses a python program to send out cvs notification
emails which connects an smtp server that happened to be not running or
just refusing connections for whatever reason.  Since the notifications
occur only after the commit has occurred, the failure should not have affected
cvs.
