Rails does not send emails on AWS

Im trying to send confirmation emails from my Rails application. In my development environment its working perfectly (in ubuntu). However, when I try to send the emails in my Amazon AWS EC2 instance, it is not working. I get next error log:

BookingRequestEvent.execute
{ 38227580 rufus-scheduler intercepted an error:

} 38227580 .

I see a connection refused message, I guess I should config some security credential or open some port... but I have no idea.

UPDATE

To provide some more details. My email service is provided by Zoho, I configured some accounts. I configured two MX record sets in AWS with Route 53. The mail is working, I mean, I can send and receive email from another accounts such as gmail or hotmail to my zoho accounts. And as I said, the email service is working with these accounts in development (which is another ubuntu).

Are you running this application from inside a VPC? If so, verify that your NAT instance's security group allows SMTP inbound/outbound traffic. If it's a classic EC2 instance, do the same in your instance's SG.
