Please participate in the Ubuntu Popularity Contest !

[Andreas Rohlfs]

I would like to participate, but I have a problem.

I chose http as method for submitting the report.  /etc/popularity-
contest.conf has USEHTTP="yes".

But the script still tries so send an mail to popcon at ubuntu.com. It is still
in the mailqueue because our firewall does not let this server connect to
mailservers outside our our network. (HTTP is allowed for this server).

My /etc/popularity-contest.conf:

MY_HOSTID="393f6c7d2ffd409396afa1c79264e166"
PARTICIPATE="yes"
USEHTTP="yes"

Any hints?
