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

NWBPSET(1)							      nwbpset								NWBPSET(1)

NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with As another example, look at the following command line: nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c | sed '2s/.*/ME/'| sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'| nwbpset With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object 'me'. nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c | sed '9s/.*/ff/'| nwbpset This command disables the user object me. Feel free to contribute other examples! nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. AUTHORS
