I recently got a message from SF saying they upgraded the Python on the cvs machine to 2.2.3. I'm wondering if they also turned off smtp on that machine (syncmail's MAILHOST variable points to localhost via its empty string value). I've seen this same error, or reports of this on several projects and have a message into SF to find out what's up.

I bet this recent blurb on SF's site status page is relevant:

(2004-01-23 06:31:27 - Project CVS Service)
Due to the recent OS upgrade on the SourceForge.net developer CVS
server, it will be necessary for any per-project syncmail script
installations to make a one-line change to their syncmail script.
The central copy of the syncmail script which is used by a number
of projects has already been modified in this manner. To function
properly, the MAILHOST line should be hardcoded to
MAILHOST = 'localhost'.
Additional information on syncmail may be found in Enhancing
Project CVS Services Using Scripts; the SourceForge.net team
maintains a central copy of the syncmail script which your project
may use.

So did they upgrade to Windows ? Having to say 'localhost' instead of using an empty string is universal across Windows flavors.
