We just upgraded to MOSS from WSS 3.0 and now the e-mail is not working. We get an ‘Error’ message every time. Hope someone can help.

Did you check your outgoing email settings in Central Administration?

Yes, I was checking out Microsoft TechNet and found this by Tony Testa MVP www.tonytestasworld.com
I just ran into some similar issues on a client project. Alerts work fine because typically they are added to Outlook as rules, so it’s not really sending an email from SharePoint (as far as I know, I am probably abit off on this exactly). But since your outgoing email isn't working, here is what I would try.
On your central admin server, open command prompt and try and telnet to the mail server, typically over port 25 "telnet mailserver.domain.com 25". If it comes up with a prompt, you know you’re in and the connection between the mail server and SharePoint is good from that end. Chances are it’s not. If it’s not, you'll have to work with your networking team to make sure that the SharePoint central admin server can talk to your mail server. Also, an issue I ran into at my client was that their Antivirus on the server was actually blocking port 25, so I had to go into the AV settings and disable port 25 from being blocked.
I will be trying this and hope it works. I will post the outcome. Thanks :)Posted 2 days ago # -
Here is the message I get after giving a user permissions, "The user or users have been added successfully, but there was an error in sending the e-mail message. The server may not be set up correctly to send e-mail. To verify that e-mail is configured correctly, contact your server administrator." everything is set correctly.
