About: Help us make the Debian CDs even better

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi Debian!

"Help us make the Debian CDs even better" appeared in announce.

It suggested to use the popularity-contest package in support of the 
next release.

Excellent idea! Way to go!

I install popularity-contest and watch cron do its weekly job of sending 
the data to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It uses sendmail which I never have used before. Reason: RTFM is a 
daunting task here. Man sendmail says "sendmail [options] arguments ..." 
and then lists 87 options and nothing about the arguments (although I 
did not check each of the 87 arguments to see if that is true).

When I did "mail" (which I never use either) I saw that a mailer-daemon 
had an error with this sendmail.

Did apenwarr ever receive the data from my system?

I decided to send the data to apenwarr myself with Mozilla (1.7b) Mail.

That resulted in "- These recipients of your message have been processed 
by the mail server:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]; Failed; 5.7.0 (other or undefined security 
status)"

Question: It appears popularity-contest has a hidden agenda and assumes 
that the Debian installation it reports about contains an expert 
exim/sendmail user.

Is there a chance to participate in the popularity contest for us 
misinformed pseudo-Debian users that use Mozilla for all the mailing tasks?

Thanks!

Hugo.
