sed problems - Bash Script

Hi
I keep getting the following error

Code:
sed: -e expression #1, char 32: unterminated `s' command
sed: -e expression #1, char 35: unterminated `s' command
sed: -e expression #1, char 35: unterminated `s' command

whenever I use the following bash script

Code:
#! /bin/bash
mailgmail="smtp\.gmail\.com:587"
mailyahoo="smtp\.mail\.yahoo\.com:587"
echo "Email:"
        read emailuse
echo "Password:"
        read emailpass
sed -i "6s/.*/root=$emailuse/" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
sed -i "25s/.*/AuthUser=$emailuse/" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
sed -i "26s/.*/AuthPass=$emailpass/" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
if [[ "$emailuse" == *"gmail"* ]]; then
        sed -i "10s/.*/mail=$mailgmail" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
        sed -i "23s/.*/mailhub=$mailgmail" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
        sed -i "28s/.*/mailhub=$mailgmail" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
elif [[ "$emailuse" == *"yahoo"* ]]; then
        sed -i "10s/.*/mail=$mailyahoo" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
        sed -i "23s/.*/mailhub=$mailyahoo" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
        sed -i "28s/.*/mailhub=$mailyahoo" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
else
        echo "Use another email address with yahoo or gmail"

fi

Thank you

NAME
fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver. SYNOPSIS
fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils. fixnt is a filter that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1). The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout. It has no other form for invocation and takes no options on the command-line. OPTIONS
fixnt takes no options. BUGS
fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94. For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so: sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g' This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users. AUTHOR
fixnt was written by Holger Bauer <Holger.Bauer@topmail.de>, Michael Rath <rath@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>, and Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>. REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files. Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>. SEE ALSO
