I use TextMate as a text editor, so the following command line options use the ‘mate’ command. This process is much simpler if you don’t need SSL encryption when sending mail.
I personally use Google Apps, so this process is for those also trying to authenticate through Gmail. Rather than do this process again when Apple releases a new upgrade, I decided to document the steps I took to get this working (more for a reference for myself, but also to help those with the same issues). After hours of updating settings and getting nowhere, I stumbled across a blog post that set me in the right direction. Postfix is essential for my line of business where I send many emails through MAMP on my local machine. I recently upgraded my Mac to use Apple’s latest operating system, Mountain Lion, and in so doing, wiped out my postfix configuration that I had previously set up with advice from many different blogs.

This would allow me to run my webapps locally and not have to VPN in to send email, which is preferable, so if I know me, and I do, I’ll probably go through this when I have some more time.Home › Email › Configuring Postfix to Send Mail from Mac OS X Mountain LionĬonfiguring Postfix to Send Mail from Mac OS X Mountain Lion Here is a link that walks you through setting up sendmail / postfix using Google’s smtp servers and authenticating with your gmail credentials I realized as I typed this that if the smtp server you’re using requires you to authenticate, you’ll need to do more postfix configuration. Then change sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i Search for SMTP, it may be commented out, but change it to this – SMTP=localhost Then edit it – sudo vi /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php.ini You may be tempted to edit myhostname, or mydomain but just leave them commented out.īack up your php.ini file – cp /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php.ini /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php_orig.ini Then edit it – sudo vi /etc/postfix/main.cf I got my start on this quest here – The kicker with this first solution is that XAMPP for OSX doesn’t come with sendmail, so the part about editing sendmail.ini was useless, which essentially makes the post mostly useless to me and other mac users.Īfter digging around I managed to set up something that was crazy simple.įirst back up the file we’ll edit – cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main_orig.cf

I’ll post back, when I have an independent solution setup, or if you have one, please feel free to leave a link in the comments, or even better, spell it out in the comments. So, this still isn’t perfect but its working for me at this point in time. The problem with this is – if I’m off campus, I actually have to VPN in, to send email. I happen to be located on a college campus, and all email leaving the campus must run through that, so I’ve set up my machine to use that host. One caveat – you need to have a real live SMPT server somewhere.
I messed around with this for quite sometime, and was able to get a configuration that worked for me. If you search around, you’ll find a lot of differing ways to get XAMPP to do this.

Whether that takes the form of a forgot password link, a verify email address link, or some other activity notification, typically a local development server install like XAMPP (on Mac) does’t do email out of the box. One thing that we all have to do at some point is create email notifications. I’ve recently upgraded to Mavericks and changed over from MAMP to XAMPP.
I develop web applications on my MacBook Pro.
