I have some bits and piece, from when I tried to assemble the "SavannahInternals" page (http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahInternals/ ), though the information there seems somewhat out dated. Looking at the "Cron job on vcs" section on this page mentions "sv_aliases" script in "/etc/cron.d/sv" which rebuilds /etc/aliases. checking now in internal:/etc/cron.d/sv I see something similar: === ################################################ MAIL RELATED # Commented, since there is no mail service at savannah # # List of mail-/etc/aliases must be rebuild regularly #*/10 * * * * root sv_aliases --cron # This, plus create a file full of [email protected] to override the sender (and avoid SRS- or SPF- issues) */10 * * * * root sv_aliases --cron && sed -e '/# Savannah include start/,/# Savannah include end/s/\([^:]\+\): .*/\1: [email protected]/' /etc/email-addresses -e 's,This is /etc/email-addresses,DO NOT EDIT - GENERATED FROM email-addresses.,' > /etc/email-addresses_SENDER === So even though the comments said "commented", there is an enabled call to sv_aliases. Hope this helps, I can try to investigate further. regard, - assaf
