Hi guys, I am sorry for intruding in this way, but I thought since you are experiencing such difficulties on this site it's best to fix the issue as soon as possible

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

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.

I've tried changing the EMAIL_HOST.

Evgeny -- I've also added you as an admin, in case you can provide better support.

Thanks, will be glad to help. Fixed the RSS url, it was actually in "/admin" --> sites. The deployment is not fully automated yet, so there still are these weird issues.

Let's see if this works. I changed it to localhost and installed sendmail on the local server.
