Can you explicitly set the domain on the "From" address to something that does 
resolve?  Masquerade might work for this, but that's overkill; usually you 
don't need to do that.  A quick check on the svnnotify docs suggest that you 
can use a command line parameter ("--from [hidden email]") to have the 
client explicitly set the "from" address.  Note that the username part of the 
'from' address doesn't need to actually exist in example.com. 

It still depends on how the "upstream" is configured, but if you're right that 
the only problem is an unresolvable domain, that should help.
