Sure. Though you don't need to use different ports. This would work
fine:
ssh <username>@cvs.apache.org -L 110:localhost:110 -L 25:localhost:25
Or if you're not able to bind to ports < 1024 because you're on a Unix box
and not running as root,
ssh <username>@cvs.apache.org -L 1110:localhost:110 -L 1025:localhost:25
or something.

Don't ever use @apache.com. ;)

Not really, but it has generally appeared to be used rarely; only a few
people I know use that as their primary email identity. If you're
speaking to others about something Apache-related from your @apache.org
address, it might be a good idea to have a sig that mentions you're not
speaking FOR the ASF, or something.

Thanks, that would be appreciated. And yes, if you can successfully set
an arbitrary From: header from your mailer, you don't need to tunnel.
Though, this may change in the future: there is at least one proposal for
an anti-spam technique that would allow us to state that there were only
certain IP addresses that could send mail that claimed to be From: an
@apache.org address, in an attempt to prevent forged spam. But I'm sure
the infrastructure team would make a lot of noise before doing that.
