Emacs uses the /usr/sbin/sendmail command (specified by the sendmail-program variable) to deliver email you compose. You might be getting the error because your sendmail command is not working properly.

To resolve the issue you could try using the sendmail command directly (try man sendmail) to verify it really works. If it doesn't work properly, you should fix it and sending email from Emacs should start working.
