Using the sign up option is crashing

[Wootenblatz]

This is the error I see in the logs. I thought it was mail related so I setup my production environment to use my gmail account (I have this working on other rails sites) and it still happens.

Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2)): app/models/user/states.rb:41:in do_activation' app/models/user/activation.rb:8:inset_first_user_as_activated' app/controllers/users_controller.rb:26:in `create'

In development mode signing up works fine.
