Yes, that's it. However, file names with a single digit also exist,
they seem to have the same content (but not the corresponding file
with the .gpg suffix) and they seem to be rotated.

Well, journalctl says nothing about popularity-contest. I would expect
SMTP to servers outside to fail but
/etc/popularity-contest.conf has the option:
     USEHTTP="yes"

I don't see why HTTP submissions would fail. I don't know how else I
could look into why popularity-contest consistently fails.
