Thanks. I am using Tiger and I did download PostFix and it seemed to
do what it wanted to do and yet I still can't send mail from php. In
addition, when I try to sent from Apple:Mail using localhost, as the
instructions at the PostFix site direct, it also won't send.
I tried a remote telnet login as PostFix site directed to see if there
was an ISP issue and that worked fine.
My installation of Tiger has /usr/sbin/sendmail installed and as I
understand php looks for sendmail there.
I modified my "/etc/hostconfig" file as us instructed adding the line
"MAILSERVER=-YES-". I hope this is still appropriate under Tiger.
There was no such line in the file when I opened it.
