I'm trying to set up the "Site Settings - E-mail" page.

I filled out the page as follows:
Gallery Administrator:

Name: Mark Miller
E-mail address: markmiller41*at*msn*dot*com

Show e-mails as coming from:

Name: Gallery Server Pro
E-mail address: gs_1965*at*usmillers*dot*net

SMTP server: mail*dot*usmillers*dot*net
SMTP server port: 25

The SSL Encryption checkbox is NOT checked.

When I click "Send Test e-mail" button, I get this error:
Code:
The following error occurred: System.Net.Mail.SmtpFailedRecipientException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: No such user here



Both the email addresses are correct, the smtp server information is correct. In fact, if I change the "Gallery Administrator E-mail address" value to mark*at*usmillers*dot*net, the test e-mail comes through fine.

Why can I not send an e-mail to my msn account?

My guess is that your SMTP server is configured to require credentials and will therefore reject any request to send an email to a non usmillers.net domain. You can configure email credentials with GSP with the mailSettings section in web.config. I copied the relevant section below - just follow the instructions.

Code:
<!--
The site admin page lets you specify the smtp server and port, and the entries are stored in galleryserverpro.config.
If you need to specify a username and password, you can do so here. When this section is configured, the smtp
server and port in galleryserverpro.config are ignored, so make sure to include the server and port here. Uncomment
the section below to make it take effect. -->
<!--
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp>
<network
host="relayServerHostname"
port="portNumber"
userName="username"
password="password" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
-->
