No, you shouldn't change your config file, it is good.  What I am saying
is that when you send it in an email to this list, you should obscure
your address, because anyone can view it -- thus it is possible that
spammers get your SMTP address and try to use it as a spam relay (make
sure it's not an open relay...)

There is more information about this on the SM site, by the way.

You should change your SMTP address back to what it was.  The blank
lines after $debug are OK.  Just make sure that there is NOTHING after
"?>".  If you open the file using vi, you should see this:

-----<snip>-----
$debug = 0;

?>
~
~
~
-----<snip>-----

And to test this, please remove the version of redirect.php that I sent
you.  I will send you another one if this still isn't working.

Cheers,
