Hello, I am having a problem sending mail with php while hosting my own website with apache on my mac. First of all I would like to note that I do not have a large background with web hosting and php. Everything that I did so far was just suggestions from online articles and other forums, so please include detail with any answers.
I have apache started, and my website hosted just fine. I can also view php pages so I know php is running too. My problem is using the php mail() function.
I have a simple form in my site who's action attribute is set to results.php. In the results.php file I have the mail() function (along with html code displaying "thank you...blah blah blah") sending info from the form to my email address. I never get an error on the php side, but my mail never gets sent.
Is there some type of setting in a config file that need to be turned on or changed?
Here is what I have done/modified so far from my research from online articles. i dont know what some of them mean, but followed the steps correctly:
I opened the mail.log file and here are some entries from today:
Any other suggestions on how to get this to work? I have also created a simple php file that sends mail without retreiving info from a form and also tried using several different email addresses to send to and from, but still nothing

Here is what I have done/modified so far from my research from online articles. i dont know what some of them mean, but followed the steps correctly:
- Edited the /etc/hostconfig file and added the line MAILSERVER=-YES-
- Edited the /etc/postfix/main.cf file and uncommented the #myhostname = ...line and made it "myhostname = localhost" (without quotes)
- Edited the php.ini file to the following - The line under where it says
; For unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i")Sendmail_path = usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
I opened the mail.log file and here are some entries from today:
