[cvsspam-devel] Encrypting CVS notification emails

[vinnie nolan]

Hi

I wonder if it would be possible to configure cvsspam to encrypt all
notification emails sent by CVS . Some notification emails could contain
potentially sensitive information so it would make sense to encrypt them.

The emails would be encrypted with a single certificate which is stored in
PEM format in a local file.

To encrypt an email using openssl and sendmail is quite simple. Just use the
following format:

$ openssl smime
-encrypt \
-text \
-in myMessage.txt \ # Text to encrypt
-from me at somewhere.com\
-to you at somewhere.com \
-subject "Encrypted CVS notification message" \
yourcert.pem \ # PEM certificate of user you want to send the email to. This
could be the same file for all users on a mailing list.
| /usr/sbin/sendmail you at somewhere.com

I am not an expert on ruby so I am wondering if it is possible to invoke
sendmail in this way from the cvsspam.rb file..

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Vinnie
