Except the popcon.debian.org server itself seems to work properly, this is 
the SMTP relay that reject the message.

I am concerned that an SMTP relay might be configured to only accept emails with
a certain MAIL FROM: domain, and that forcing the domain to be [email protected] 
instead of using root email address might be counter-productive in the sense
that popcon might fail even if the root address is correctly configured.
