Yes, that's "kerneloops" daemon :-)

Yes, you can.

/etc/kerneloops.conf

# Set the following variable to "yes" if you want to automatically

allow-submit = ask

Set that to "yes".

My guess is that kerneloops daemon just says "sent" when you click in 
"yes" submit button but cannot address if the user is online or not.

I dunno what method uses kerneloops to send the data (e-mail?). If sends 
the info by e-mail, you could check Exim's queue by being root and 
issuing "mailq" command.
