Thanks you very much!

I have already moved the web site content to
http://popcon.debian.org.

Now, I need to move the email processor.  IIRC, aliases are processed
with permission nobody:nogroup:
/etc/exim/virtualdomains:
popcon.debian.org: user=nobody group=nogroup directory=/org/popcon.debian.org/mail/

I can either use a pipe alias or a file alias and a crontab job.

For survey@popcon.debian.org to be able to proceed submissions it need
some more permissions. 

Probably the simplest is to change the permissions to ballombe:popcon.
Schemes that require lower permissions are possible but they are likely
to have issues like world-writable files or file owned by nobody.
Changing at least the group to popcon seems the minimal requirement.

Of course I am open to other options.

Thanks in advance,
