If I were you I'd be looking at how often it fails compared to how often

"popularity-contest" in /var/log. They don't even seem to be logs.
They seem to be data that popularity-contest sends away.

How to send email to popularity contest ?
Run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and set it up to use a smarthost, your

Sorry I forgot to mention that this system is not allowed to send email.
So there is no exim4.
