Rails - Jun 2006 - ActionMailer timeout problems

Hi,

I am having problems getting ActionMailer to send any mail.
I am developing on windows XP with lighttpd and scgi.

my settings are as follows(my.domain.net is replaced with a correct mail 
server):
config.action_mailer.server_settings = {
  :address  => "my.domain.net",
  :port  => 25,
  :domain  => "domain.net"
}
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

The mail server does not require authentication.

The error I get is:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `rbuf_fill'': execution expired 
(Timeout::E
rror)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in `timeout''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:132:in `rbuf_fill''

        from (irb):2:in `irb_binding''

        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb:52

netstat doesn''t show any connection attempt to the mail server being 
made.

Any help would be appreciated!

I would try first seeing if you can do it from a telnet session. Check out

Thanks for the response.

Telnet works fine.  I can also send mail using Thunderbird, etc.
I''ve also tried using an IP address for :address as well, in case of
DNS
problems, to no avail.
