Bug#699794: [Popcon-developers] Bug#699794: popularity-contest: should work without a local SMTP/sendmail
[Teodor] It would be nice if popcon could work just like reportbug, that is with no local SMTP server (or sendmail like tool). popcon work without SMTP. It will first try using http for delivery, and only if this fail will it try to send email. If http delivery fail, it will syslog a message about this. I suggest you investigate why http delivery fail to figure out why this isn't working for you. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

2013/2/5 Petter Reinholdtsen p...@hungry.com: popcon work without SMTP. It will first try using http for delivery, and only if this fail will it try to send email. If http delivery fail, it will syslog a message about this. That would be great. However, I've seen this fail both from my work network (with firewall restrictions) and on other networks with no restrictions. I suggest you investigate why http delivery fail to figure out why this isn't working for you. Does it try to connect to some other non-standard HTTP port? (not 80 or 443). A destination host name would help too. Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

A destination host name would help too. The URL is http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi on the standard port, see /usr/share/popularity-contest/default.conf. Check whether you have USEHTTP=yes in /etc/popularity-contest.conf.
