Hmm, it looks like CVSspam at least attempts to send the email.

What's the difference in that output when you commit from the command
line on the server?  (Maybe the 'Mail From' is different?)

Could a difference in the system user account under which CVS is being
run on the server between the two cases explain why it works in once
instance and not the other?  (e.g. remote CVS access is sometimes set up
so that the server runs as a user like 'cvs', 'nobody', etc.)

Are you able to check the MTA (sendmail, or whatever) logs on the CVS
server to see if the message is being rejected?
