Rails - Oct 2005 - ActionMailer won't connect to SMTP server

Has anyone setup ActionMailer to work on the home development machine, 
using SMTP server from a remote server, say your web host?

I''m trying to get mine to work, but I get a "Connection refused - 
connect(2)" error when I run my app. I''m using
DreamHost''s SMTP server.

Here''s how I''m configuring ActionMailer :

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method  = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
				:address => "mail.domain.com",
				:port => 25,
				:domain => "domain.com"
				:authentication => :login,
				:user_name => "username",
				:password => "password"
				}

Obviously I use the correct info, but everything else is the same.

Any help would sure be appreciated.

Thanks
Clint
