Trying to send e-mail

Trying to send e-mail

[John Smith]

Hello,

This is the app that I'm developing (well, a part of it.)
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a90387507842aded420402d4fce33076

After I compile it and then run it, this is the exception that I see:
raised AWS.SMTP.SERVER_ERROR : raised AWS.NET.SOCKET_ERROR : [111] Connection refused to localhost 127.0.0.1:25

What does AWS need in order to send out an e-mail?  I'm on a Manjaro Linux machine.

Thanks in advance.

Initialise takes a port number which defaults to 25.  You need to be 
root to open ports less than 1024.  So either supply a port number > 
1024 in Initialise or become root.

	I've not studied AWS so may be all wet here...

	Are you /running/ as the SMTP server? That, as mentioned elsewhere, may
need root level privileges to create a listener on port 25. 

	But the other half of your question speaks of /sending/ an email...
That should, to my mind, only require /an/ SMTP server to be running on the
machine, which you, as a client, connect and transfer the email. The server
then handles delivery of the message.

	If you already have an SMTP server running, even root shouldn't let you
create a new server on the port.

You have to configure that address to an actual SMTP server instead of
localhost.  Amazon has several email services available.  The "simple"
one is

  https://aws.amazon.com/ses/

You want the SMTP interface:

Most likely you have no SMTP server running or else it does not 
listening to 127.0.0.1:25. Why do you send to local address?

Did you check your server using some mail client, like Thunderbird?
