Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.60
Severity: minor

When HTTP fails, popularity-contest tries to send the report by
e-mail, but it may send the mail with a wrong domain:

-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

Sender address rejected: Domain not found (in reply to RCPT TO command))
                                         sur...@popcon.debian.org

Of course, e-mail configuration can be changed (I didn't use address
rewriting for root because root isn't normally expected to send mail
to remote addresses), but I don't think that the user is expected to
do that just for popularity-contest; this requirement isn't even
documented.

IMHO, popularity-contest should use popcon.debian.org as the domain
of the sender address. The local part of the address could either be
fixed or contain information about the sender.
