Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.56
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
After removing postfix (or any other SMTP server) from all systems, I
see that the monthly popcon message fails to be delivered (no IP addr
based relay here, only u/p submission).
It would be nice if popcon could work just like reportbug, that is with
no local SMTP server (or sendmail like tool).
Cheers

The current message is quite raisonnable:
syslog:
Mar 23 06:25:48 router popularity-contest: unable to submit report to
http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.
So you can easily check whether connectivity to this URL is available from the
host.
The two main cause for errors are that popcon.debian.org is down or the host
lost
network connectivity. In both case, the only thing you can get is a timeout.
Since the popcon outage is over, I am closing this report,
Cheers,
Bill.
