[Popcon-developers] Bug#229856: popularity-contest: popcon should ask and set MAILFROM

[Goswin Brederlow]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.9
Severity: important

Hi,

many users systems will only have a minimal mail setup and won't be
recieving mails on their own system. The users from address will very
often not be what popcon will use to send mail. popcon should ask for
the from address to be used and set that as MAILFROM in its conffig
file.

MfG
