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.

Hello,
Ryan Murray has upgraded gluck.debian.org to sarge and exim4 and 
configured exim4 to not check sender addresses to email send to the
popcon server.

So I consider this issue dealt with.

Note that we also support http submissions now.

Thanks for using popularity-contest!
