http://www.ntsendmail.com/ has a perl program which can be used to
send mail on systems where there is no sendmail installed.
There is nothing special about sending mail. Any data transport layer
would work including HTTP Post and SSH the only requirement is that
the data is sent to the STDIN of the mail processing programs upon
delivery and that the process which runs this is the same uid as the
tinderbox server. I have not thought too much about how to set up
these alternate delivery mechanisms so I have no practical advice but

apply to the branches of interest, then tinderbox would not have to
poll and it would get the branch information which it needs.
I would be interested in a module VCDisplay module to work with this
bonsai work alike tool http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/ but I do not
have time not to investigate it. This should be simple to code once
viewcvs is setup, it may even be exactly the same as
VCDisplay::Bonsai.
I had one user who used the new Perforce modules but they reported
problems with the data gathering capability. They did not give me
enough info to fix the problem. Any help here would be apreciated.
VCDisplay::Perforce_P4DB appears to work.
I would like to have a compression library which can be used to
compress and uncompress logs so that the transit of those logs is
compressed. The difficulty here is that the library should be
flexible. Perhaps the build machines do not have the perl compression
libraries but do have the compression binaries it may be the reverse
situatuation on the server. Also We should support many kinds of
compression/encryption (uuencode, ascii armor) and other data
transforms so that users can configure the mail to use compression
followed by pgp followed by ascii armor or something like that.
