well - this site does seem a bit sick... continuing in the answer.
The reason you have SMTP errors is because the site is trying to send emails through askbot.org mailserver, which is not an open realy. This is my mistake - I've left the entry in the default settings file.
To fix the error, the server administrator needs to configure the following settings
SERVER_EMAIL = ''
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'admin@askbot.org'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[ASKBOT] '
EMAIL_HOST='askbot.org'
EMAIL_PORT='25'
EMAIL_USE_TLS=False
The incorrect answer counts are caused by interruption of the process of saving the answer by the SMTP error. I will fix this behaviour ASAP in the forum source code.
Thanks for your patience.
Evgeny -- I've also added you as an admin, in case you can provide better support.
Oh, and let us know when we should update to a new version, etc. Feel free to email me directly wstein@gmail.com
Let's see if this works. I changed it to localhost and installed sendmail on the local server.

The Index out of bounds error is probably due to the same issue - incomplete update of database record caused by the email exception.
