[Popcon-developers] Bug#253850: popularity-contest: survey@popcon.debian.org as target email does not work

[Dennis Decker Jensen]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.20
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Greetings!

I've had this problem for some months now, even in
between updates to popularity-contest where I thought
it would be updated considering the graveness and/or
purpose of the package.

Maybe nobody bothered to tell you, so I thought
I might.  My sincerest apologies, if this is a known
minor problem, or by some chance misplaced to report
this way.

Consistently I get this email
in response (not including the "===="):
