Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at $HOME/public_html/wp-includes/class-smtp.php:803) in $HOME/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

First – WP 3.4.2 $HOME/config.php has no final ?>

Second – using plugin SMTP, debug mode checked, left on accidentaly, throws out debug text whenever a comment is posted while attempting email notification of comment to author.

Third – The admin account password for SMTP email authentication had changed but not reconfigured in the Plugin.

Solution: Banged head against wall, unchecked debug mode in SMTP, entered correct admin password.

The only puzzle left is how on earth the config file was working with the final ?> tag missing.
