Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 1025 - Devise Mailer

Question

I am trying to send an email after signup for rails devise. Unfortunately I am getting the error in the title.

Here is my development environment:

  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {:address => "localhost", :port => 1025}

  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

Am I not supposed to be going through port 1025? I'm very new to rails mailers, so any insight into this would be appreciated!

Do you actually have an smtp service listening on port 1025 on localhost? Rails isn't going to start one for you. — Karen B, Jul 16 '16 at 21:44
@KarenB I'm ashamed to say I don't know. How would I check this, or set it up? — gwalshington, Jul 16 '16 at 21:51
I have this set up inside my `development.rb` with devise and it works well `config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test` `config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: localhost:3000 }` — mrvncaragay, Jul 16 '16 at 21:54
@Marv-C When I do this, the server shows the email being sent, but I do not receive it in my email. — gwalshington, Jul 16 '16 at 22:01
@gwalshington i see. i actually test my mailer through heroku sendgrid. but i found this link, it might help you set up in localhost. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1789032/send-email-from-localhost — mrvncaragay, Jul 16 '16 at 22:11
@Marv-C I just sent up SendGrid, and it works fine! Thank you so much for the help. — gwalshington, Jul 16 '16 at 23:53

Are you using Mailcatcher or something to listen to the port? You might need to start mailcatcher.

Starting MailCatcher
==> smtp://127.0.0.1:1025
