[Solved] error sending emails

[Predatorftp]

I get this error, what seems  to be the problem ?
[04-Mar-2010 11:19:20] Failed to connect socket: Connection refused ():
[04-Mar-2010 11:19:20 -0600]: SMTP Error: SMTP error: Connection failed: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused in /hsphere/local/home/michelnixon/cube.rocrint.com/program/steps/mail/func.inc on line 1365 (POST /?_task=mail&_action=send)

[Solution]
The problem was solved by changing the mail server address to $rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = '127.0.0.1' (local host).

instead of my mail server.

hope it helps ...
