[et-mgmt-tools] Re: strange email server message (email refused from redhat.com)

[Michael DeHaan]

Hmmm ... it appears the redhat.com spam blocker is starting to be 
aggressive.    Sorry about that.

Thanks for the work.  

Downside:  I can't take this patch with explicit python2.3 usage in spec 
and Makefiles, though if you want to maintain a Centos port, that's great.

I could possibly check in a patchset and add it to README if you want to 
leave it in the tree under "contrib" or the like.    Mind if I CC this 
to et-mgmt-dev at redhat.com?
