Mail server Send mail mac os

Edit php.ini
  sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Turn on the mail server your hostconfig file:
Run sudo nano -w /etc/hostconfig in Terminal. Look for the line starting MAILSERVER=, if you don’t see it, add it and make sure it reads:

MAILSERVER=-YES-

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add the following to the end: 
  relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587 
  smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
  smtp_use_tls = yes
  smtp_enforce_tls = yes
  smtp_sasl_security_options =
  smtp_sasl_tls_security_options =
  smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options =
  smtp_tls_loglevel = 2 # optional if you wan to see what's going on with the TLS   negotiation in /var/log/mail.log
  smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_sasl_passwords
  smtp_tls_per_site = hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_tls_sites
  tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom


Create /etc/postfix/smtp_sasl_passwords with the following contents:

smtp.yourisp.com username:password

Create /etc/postfix/smtp_tls_sites with the following contents:

smtp.yourisp.com MUST_NOPEERMATCH

Then run the following commands:

$ cd /etc/postfix
$ chmod go-rx smtp_sasl_passwords
$ postmap smtp_sasl_passwords
$ postmap smtp_tls_sites

To test, try:

echo "Hello" | mail -s "Test" you@domain.com

The above test may not work if your provider requires a valid source e-mail address. If that's the case, try:

printf "Subject: TestnHello" | sendmail -f you@domain.com you@domain.com

This second test form specifies the "from" address as you, but can be changed to anything you want as long as it passes muster with your provider's server. You can now check the logs:

tail /var/log/mail.log

Or, if you're crafty, you'll open a second Terminal window, and before running the tests in the first window, do:

tail -f /var/log/mail.log


sudo mkdir -p /Library/Server/Mail/Data/spool
sudo /usr/sbin/postfix set-permissions
sudo /usr/sbin/postfix start
