An empty string, or alternatively "." , is the correct thing to put.
Action is misleadingly named - it's actually just a URL. So this means
that the URL to POST to is the same one that originally rendered the
view.
Your form is acting correctly - the 'connection refused' error is
presumably coming from the send_mail function inside your view,
perhaps you haven't got the mail settings correct.
