cvs sometimes sends a email to @jakarta.apache.org with a very long subject line 
(does the RFC specify a legal maximum?), which is rejected by a mail server 
somewhere between me and Apache (I think my ISP).  This causes ezmlm to probe my 
account (send me a 'probe' email).  This happens several times a month.
