Cannot assign requested address

Hello,

While I was following the chapter 7 (Form processing) of the
django
book, I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/
site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in
get_response
  77. response = callback(request, *callback_args,
**callback_kwargs)
File
"/Users/yjlee/Documents/Worx/Django/DjangoWorx/mysite2/
../mysite2/
books/views.py" in contact
  30. message, sender, ['administratorexample.com'])
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/
site-packages/django/core/mail.py" in send_mail

recipient_list]], fail_silently, auth_user, auth_password)
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/
site-packages/django/core/mail.py" in send_mass_mail
  66. server = smtplib.SMTP(settings.EMAIL_HOST,
settings.EMAIL_PORT)
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/
smtplib.py" in __init__
  244. (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/
smtplib.py" in connect
  310. raise socket.error, msg

  error at /contact/
  (49, "Can't assign requested address")

It seems that this error was coming from
HttpResponseRedirect() of the
contact view method, but I did not figure what went wrong.
This is my
"contact" view method:
def contact(request):
	if request.method == 'POST':
		form = ContactForm(request.POST)
		if form.is_valid():
			topic = form.clean_data['topic']
			message = form.clean_data['message']
			sender = form.clean_data.get('sender', 'noreplyexample.com')
			send_mail('Feedback from your site, topic: %s' % topic,
				message, sender, ['administratorexample.com'])
			return HttpResponseRedirect('/contact/thanks/')
	else:
		form = ContactForm()
	return render_to_response('books/contact.html', {'form':
form})

One odd thing is that I got the same error (cannot assign
requested
address) even if I tried to redirect HttpResponse to
"http://
www.google.com".

Can anyone explain how to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

YJ

Error is in your SMTP parameters in settings.py or something
similar.
Look at the traceback:

No, look at the traceback. The lines it's highlighting are
the ones
which send the email, and the error message is saying that
it wasn't
able to establish a connection with your mail server to send
the
email. Double-check the settings you've provided to Django
for email
handling and ensure they correctly specify a mail server
that you have
access to.

Thanks for the help.

There was a problem with the mail server. Now I got it
working.
Thanks a lot!
