Why does the script need to know my email-address?

The script needs your email-address for two things - first if there's a problem (for example if a file is not found in the DL-Database) the script displays a warning-message along with a link to your email-address so that visitors can contact you and give you more specific information.

It's also needed for sending emails. For example Schlabo's POTD can send out a mail to the guy who submitted a picture about when it will be used. A mail always has to have a from-email-address, that way they can also write back. Last but not least the script can also automatically notify you if a file is missing in the DL-Database, it will then send a mail to your address.

None of the information you enter in the scripts-configuration will be sent to schlabo.com or anywhere else. It's just on your server and nowhere else.
