Connection Refused when sending email

[robertritz]

I attempted to set up a user account in YNR and the server started giving error 500 on all YNR pages (Django admin works). I have apache set up through wsgi and it was working previously. I believe the issue is with sending email. After this error I added email settings at the bottom of general.yml as follows. What can I do now to get things running again?

EMAIL_HOST: 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER: '[email protected]' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD: 'password' EMAIL_PORT: 465 EMAIL_USE_SSL: True

The YAML config only accepts a few options; pending a resolution to #890, the easiest thing to do here would be to add the email settings inside mysite/settings/local_settings.py:

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' 
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]' 
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' 
EMAIL_PORT = 465 
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True
