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.

Nevertheless, you can prevent popularity-contest from sending reports via 
email by adding
MAILTO= 
to /etc/popularity-contest.conf

You can try with this.
