I'd vote for the command line approach. Or possibly specifying a file, as an argument on the command line, containing a list of users. The reason I like that option better is that I am building a deployment application. There will be dozens of applications stored in CVS and there are tools to allow the team to create new projects and associated teams at any time. None of the users executing that code have access to the CVSROOT and I don't want to give them access. So I need some way to dynamically specify the list of users to send the email to. The list would be based on the name of the root project directory in CVS. >5) CVSMailer is designed so it can be used both from loginfo and >notify scripts.

Okay. >6) After some changes I made the sender is the user that is identified >... Couldn't you use the $USER's email address as the Reply-To: header? And/or, why don't you add it to the message body?
