Usually if it's an smtp error the smtp error message will show in the logs. In this case it doesn't look like it even got that far. Do you have your outgoing mail setup in SharePoint? Do other emails from sharepoint work?

Here is the error from the SharePoint log. Yes, running telnet from the SharePoint and sending to the same email address that fails in the web part.

Can you please paste the error from the sharepoint log.

Also, are you running telnet from the sharepoint machine, and sending an email to the same email address that fails in the web part?

my telnet is working on my Windows 2008 R2 server but I'm getting this error when I try to create a user using the 'Membership Request' web part.

'An unexpected error has occurred. Please contact your administrator if this problem persists, or check the SharePoint log file for more details.'

I checked the log file and was told that I'm getting a send mail error but I'm able to send mail with telnet. Please help if you can.

I just tried the email address on my side and it worked fine. I believe the error is coming from your smtp server. You can try using telnet to send an email through the smtp server to see if you get the same error:

Do other email addresses work?
