We had a very similar issue recently. It turned out to be nothing to do with SharePoint at all: the network guys had moved the load balancer for the mail servers to a new switch or something but they had not checked that all the existing servers could reach it.

Can your SharePoint server send any email at all? If not go see the network guys. Or the email guys, it could be that the SP server isn't allowed to route mail or some thing.

Have you checked that all the Timer Job Definitions and stuff are running OK in Central Admin? – Dan Iveson Nov 26 '10 at 13:29

Turn on logging for Email and Workflows in Central Admin and then check the server event viewer for errors. – Dan Iveson Nov 29 '10 at 10:34
