Since it is reporting "Connection refused: connect" the error is saying that the SMTP email server is refusing the connection.
In the emailstart.bat file, add the -Dmail.debug=true option and restart your email engine (See pg 202 in the EmailEngine guide). That should give you the complete info on why the email server is refusing the connection.

None of our users has complained about not receiving any notifications. Why are we seeing these errors when the connection looks fine to me. I've also tried restarting the Email Services just to see if something needed refreshed. We are using the same setup for our Dev Server and of course, no errors...
