Yes, but it is difficult to implement that differently in the existing code. The configuration file is read at program start and many modules assume these do not change. Also I think once you have your settings done, you do not need to change them again.

You can use redir from djgpp to trap the black lines (stderr error messages) to a file. You can also use the -d command line switch to get an extensive flmail.log file. I assume there is something wrong with the settings.

I also tried

I did not find an email server which allowed smtp without SSL/TLS.

When I tried to use smtp.gmail.com it responsed

Nowdays anonymous smtp is very rare as far as I know. The email providers do not want to be used for spamming.

Yes there are more directories created than needed. I did not change the directories yet since they are used at many places in the code and I may forget testing one of those. But this is due to change.
