[Popcon-developers] Bug#239097: popularity-contest: Outbound mail from an MTA always bounces, for many people

[Ron Johnson]

Package: popularity-contest
Followup-For: Bug #239097


It always comes back with a "no such host" kind of error.

Most all ISPs want you to use their own smtp servers.  This is why reportbug 
added smtp-client capabilities.

If smtp-client capabilities are added, more people will be able to use
popcon, and, thus, you'll get more accurate statistics.
