ActionMailer Problem

Hello,

I am trying to send automated e-mails using ActionMailer in a Rails
project. The configuration I am using is a working configuration on
another server. But even when I try sending within irb, I get the same
problem. Any ideas? Here is the error I get when I try and send the
message:

Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)

In environment.rb
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => mail_server,
:port => 25,
:domain => domain,
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => user,
:password => pass
}

Figured it out. For those experiencing this problem, try (in
environment.rb):

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
