Hello, 

We know about that problem, see http://popcon.debian.org/FAQ,
Q) My submissions bounce with
   550 [PERMFAIL] popcon.debian.org requires valid sender domain.

Since you use exim, the solution is simple: add a valid address for
root in /etc/email-addresses, for example:
-- /etc/email-addresses ---
root: dennisdjensen@tiscali.dk

Thanks for participating in popularity-contest!
