The site.ini.append is overriden by the site.ini.append.php in the settings/override folder. Check to make sure that it is set correctly there as well.
OK. Per my earlier question what is "set correctly" do I need to set it =disabled or do I give it a dummy value like noone@nowhere.com so that the email always fails? I'd rather not have my server sending garbage emails everytime someone signs up on my website.
Thanks.
