Barry,
Yes it works well. I tested it right after installation. :)
http://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-cvs-commits%40lists.sourceforge.net/

I guess I didn't phrase my question well. How do I configure Mailman to 
only accept posts from CVS? Should I use the implicitly approved people 
list for this?

Currently our list is moderated, and anyone can subscribe.

Note: we have multiple developers that will be committing to our CVS 
repository.

Also, I didn't get around to updating to syncmail 3.16 yet. I'll try to get 
that done today. Thanks for the great script. :)
