Hi all,
I'm working Django's password reset capability, and seem to be having
some trouble. When i hit 'Reset My Password' in the admin/templates/
registration_password_reset_form.html (which posts to
auth.views.password_reset) I get the following error:

error at /passwordReset/
(111, 'Connection refused')
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://rkindman.webfactional.com/passwordReset/
Exception Type: error
Exception Value: (111, 'Connection refused')
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py in connect,
line 310

Any thoughts?
Thanks so much!
-Robert

smtplib.py is the library for send email using SMTP. Connection
refused means that your mail settings aren't configured properly, or
you don't have a mail daemon running.

The `password_reset` function "Allows a user to reset their password,
and sends them the new password in an e-mail." [1]
