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
