Do you still have this in your settings.php?
ini('sendmail_path', '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f tim@akwebsoft.com');
If so then try setting the sendmail_path in your php.ini file and restart PHP. You can also set the sendmail_from in there and see if that helps.
My sendmail_path in php.ini _was_ set as '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i' I added the '-f' argument, then was getting a fatal: usage: sendmail [options] from postfix So, I've changed it back.
If that doesn't work, then there is some weird configuration in your either distribution of PHP or the build of Postfix/sendmail. You would really need to ask on an Apple forum or where you got these packages from.
I concurr, I will start with the macports community, I'm on their ML.
Another option is to just disable the whole verify sender in Postfix. There's no risk in your local machine, so long as you aren't using it for real world stuff. Just disable access to port 25 and 587 from the outside world in your firewall so spammers can't use your comp to send emails (also make sure you have your akwebsoft and tj49 domains set to localhost in your hosts file). To disable it, in your main.cf just add this and restart Postfix:
address_verify_sender = <>
I'm well firewalled, but will try the macports folks first. The main problem with sending email from drupal has been solved (_I think_). I need to test the ini() solution on my remote (deployed) site, but in the meantime, you have my gratitude. Thanks - tim -
