I think the syntax error you're getting is because the syntax is:
 folder-hook [!]regexp command

but you have two things after the regex.  Try:

 folder-hook .      'unset smtp_url; set strict_threads=no'

See how the command is all one quoted string?

You also have a ton of settings on that one line.  You might consider:

 folder-hook .                 'source ~/.mutt/folder_defaults.rc'
 folder-hook '(mutt|fedora)'   'source ~/.mutt/folder_techlists.rc'  # or whatever name

Then make sure that *every* setting is set (or unset) in each RC file.  So if you set ssl_starttls in folder_techlists.rc, you'll need to set or unset it in folder_defaults.rc.  Otherwise, you will have different settings depending on which folders you have visited.
