try something like
<!--#call "REQUEST.set('smtp_email','smtp:'+email)"-->
 <!--#sendmail mailhost=MailHost
   mailfrom=sender
   mailto=smtp_email -->
It _may_ be the same thing I encountered when setting cookies (in ver 1.0.3, 
not sure it is still in 2.x), namely that in some places variables are not
evaluated
In my case I had a rcursive loop that constructed a path from SQL database,
and 
when setting a cookie with
RESPONSE.setCookie('path',make_path) the source code of the method was set in
the 
cookie resulting in broken page ;(
using the trick with  REQUEST.set solved the problem
