If you write the cronjob, I can set it up. There is a
cronjobs-directory in the Skolelinux-SVN.

I also think we should not print as much of the information as we do
in these emails. The people that spam's us get their spam in the
listarchives, and achieve their goals.
What if you in the first place doesn't proceed if the school-name is
empty (which I have seen) and only sends the School-name, added-by and
country in the email? If any of these fields includes a link, the page
should ask the commit'er/spammer to remove those before he/she tries
to add the school?
