I'm sorry for the trouble. The cvs-all list is marked as obsolete and
has the corresponding header:
"**OBSOLETE** subscribe to svn-src-all and the individual cvs-ports/etc
lists instead! This list will go away in on or after 14th october, 2008."

As several people reported that they get the commit mails twice (from
cvs-all@ and one of the svn lists) and the list was marked as obsolete
I decided to stop the mailer from CVS.
