I've been working on learning to use Rails the last couple days and I've run into something that I haven't been able to solve with Google.

So I'm just creating a basic contact form that sends an email. Everything seems to be working ok in testing, which tells me that the form is working, and ActionMailer was implemented correctly, however, I'm having trouble configuring ActionMailer. I'm running OSX 10.6.2. I have postfix running and have verified that it's running using telnet localhost 25. When I try to use the form I get a "Connection refused" error.

This is my current configuration:

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
  :address  => 'localhost',
  :port     => 25
}

I thought I might need to set :domain but I'm kind of confused on what that should be set to in this situation.
