Post and Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2))

I set up a contact form and posted something. And then I got an error message.

Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2)):

I have no idea how to solve this. Could you help me?

I had the same problem and it was cause by fail2ban. Just edit your /etc/fail2ban/jail.local file and disable [ssh] and [ssh-ddos] by setting enabled = false in the jail.local file.

$ sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

It looks like the contact controller is trying to send an email. In fact, from the logs I see the ContactMailer.sent method was called.

Heroku does not allow you to send emails using the internal SMTP. You need to use one of the Heroku add-on.

See the article Sending Email from Your App. The majority of Heroku email add-ons, such as SendGrid, are very straightforward to integrate in your Rails app.
