ActionMailer::Base Not Loading smtp_settings

Question

I am running into a very strange problem.

My /config/environments/production.rb file has the following =>

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address   => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port      => 587,
:domain    => "domain.com",
:user_name => "username",
:password  => "password",
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }

I've restarted the app (currently using Passenger and Nginx), but when I go into Rails Console I get the following =>

[30] pry(main)> ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings
{
             :address => "localhost",
                :port => 25,
              :domain => "localhost.localdomain",
           :user_name => nil,
            :password => nil,
      :authentication => nil,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}

Anyone ever experience this ? This is the root problem for me not being able to send email out. I get connection refused since it is not loading the proper settings. Any thoughts I am banging my heard against the wall ><

Make sure you using your rails console in production mode.
