Well there were some problems with popularity-contest, see bug #326593 IIRC for sending to both [email protected] and [email protected]: ssmtp allows sendmail -oi [email protected],[email protected] but not courrier-mta which want sendmail -oi [email protected] [email protected] Another issue for popularity-contest is that MTA that do not retry on error do not provide much avantage over HTTP submission. However popularity-contest does not need that the MTA listen on port 25.
