This is weird. I can receive mail in IMAP set up account, but not SEND using the same settings.
I am using:
mail.mydomain.com
using password authentication of myusername@mydomain.com
my mail program has a "use default ports" so I'm wondering if maybe Dreamhost uses some non-standard ports for SMPT mail?

Nope, it's all standard. What error do you get when you try? How new is your domain setup here?
Or it's your ISP not allowing it, in which case, try a non-standard port: 587

587 is one of the 3 default ports Mac Mail lists, the other 2 are 25 & 465.
The error I get is:

A quick check would be to log into your shell account here an type:
telnet mail.mydomain.com 25
It should at least connect. If you'd like, PM me your domain name and I'll try to test it from home.
