Hello Petter,

I have made some packages that report using both smtp and http POST
(to the test adress) here:
http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/popcon/debs

and I plan to ask debian-devel to try them.

For now, the downside is that since we report twice, we use around 33% more
bandwidth (the http report is sent gzip'ed so is only 1/3 of the smtp
one.)

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
