It took a while to figure out that this was why I was getting blacklisted on email. about the month... not sure.

Is it still in SVN somewhere or has it mosey'd over to git? Personally, I'd like to move the override logic in to podlings.xml. I have no idea why CMDA's name doesn't match its mailing lists, but they may retire soon, so not sure its worth chasing. The others are all older podlings.
