I use popcon on my relatively new Sarge box. Problem is that there is a
bug preventing the mails from getting out to Debian's machines. So it

'ello,
I use popcon on my relatively new Sarge box. Problem is that there is a
bug preventing the mails from getting out to Debian's machines. So it
could be that even people using popcon are not being counted.
