You still have errors in your config file.  Did you delete and
recreate it?  If so, what commands did you use?

Your config still has those wrong values for 1 and 2.  You need to get
rid of them.  I'd suggest moving the entire ~/.rss2email directory
somewhere and starting fresh.

Sendmail shouldn't have anything to do with things at this point.  The
config you quoted had this:

That tells r2e to send via SMTP, using the value in SMTP_SERVER.
