earachefl Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm trying to get mail() to work on my Mac system. I've got MAMP installed and working, but can't get mail() to send. From what I've been reading, there are two issues I have to address. First, in php.ini, I need to uncomment sendmail_path and set it to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i. Second, I've read that "sendmail on Mac OS X ships broken due to the group-writable permissions scheme being used by Apple", and that I need to remove the group write permission on the root directory. However, I've also read that doing so "tends to break poorly written Mac OS installation programs that write random files into the root directory" (http://sial.org/howto/sendmail/macosx/8.10.2/). Can anyone help me to sort this all out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
