Dear gods.. it looks like your SQL'ed user_prefs (or your local.cf) is full of gobbldy gook... did you do something foolish like edit it on a windows box?
Those ^|'s should not be there. Fix all those broken lines that contain them.
Also the empty blacklist_from statements need to go... that's broken.
also, get rid of "defang_mime". That command is gone and is now illegal to in a SA configfile... It died a loooong loooong time ago when 2.50 was released..
Any "failed to parse line" error messages are an extraordinarily bad sign, and it means that the config line quoted is somehow mangled or illegal.
