Ah... Very good. I stand corrected. And what's more, looking it over it appears that using http is now the default.[1] Thanks! Bob [1] In the /usr/share/doc/popularity-contest/FAQ.gz file: Q) How can I prevent popularity-contest from sending reports via email? A) This is not recommended. Reports are sent by email only when the HTTP submission fails, which is generally caused by a temporary lack of internet connectivity. By contrast, reports sent by email are stored in the mail server queue until the internet connectivity is back.
