I'd like to call your attention to the difference between:

I thin' your mail system got some 'splanin' to do...
Well, I've used postfix for years .... always works, but I'm not telling PHP how to handle `from'
What's your email address set in the E-Mail address field on Administration > Configuration > System > Site information?
From your log, the problem is obvious. You are attempting to send an email with a return address that doesn't exist. Postfix is set to verify sender, so before it accepts an email, it's going to ask the server handling the return address if that user actually exists. If it doesn't then it's going to send a 550 error. If you have the EMail address in Drupal set to something other than www@tj49.com, then you got a server problem going on, preventing PHP from setting the return address. If you're running in safe_mode, that can be the culprit. If not, then you can try adding this to your settings.php:
ini('sendmail_path', '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f tim@akwebsoft.com');
Just make sure you set the email address to an actual user that can accept emails on that server to prevent spam prevention mechanics from kicking in.

Hi Tim,
And this does look to be a drupal question. Since I'm still a relatively inexperienced Drupal developer, I'm not going to be much help, however there are people on this list that can solve your problem and have probably waited for us to get this far out of courtesy. I have helped as much as I can but there will be others that pick it up from here. Since I don't quite understand what you are trying to accomplish, I can't even ask any beneficial questions.
Don't sell yourself short. You've been a big help! You have at least put me on to an issue relevant to my desktop. I think there may be two separate issues, so I'm going to rephrase what is happening at my domain at akwebsoft.com :
I constantly see error messages : "Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists." I see those error messages as admin __and__ I see them as an anonymous user when I send a message through the contact form. 1)Using a PHP script as you have instructed - which uses the PHP mail() function works. 2)Sending a test email from the SMTP Authentication module (which I installed after these error starting showing up after I updated to 7.24) - works. 3)I have set all email addresses to the same and to the same as the domain from which it is published. I __suspected__ that it could be the "Logging And Alerts" module but when I disabled it I still got the same message.
I at the end of my day here. I will pursue it further tomorrow. Again, thanks to Chris for his help and I hope to be further edified :)
