Hello Jamie :
What's your email address set in the E-Mail address field on Administration > Configuration > System > Site information?

The errors listed above are the ones when I attempt to send mail using the PHP mail() function in the test PHP file. FYI: on Mac OSX _www is the apache user.
You still need to check that _www is a user in Postfix. Since you have your Postfix configured to verify_sender, it's asking the server if that is an actual user or not. If it isn't then the email is rejected. It really all depends on how your installation of Postfix is setup for the user base (aliases, ldap, etc.)
Will do, I think that is done thru aliases, will 'man aliases' soon.
It is a different issue when I attempt to send email using the smtp authentication module - see below
ini('sendmail_path', '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f tim@akwebsoft.com');
That was added, and caches were cleared.
Did a test send from my smtp auth module. I got three error messages (as per subject line) from the module. Looking at the drupal logs - I see this:
That INI setting won't have any affect on SMTP. SMTP sends emails through the PHPMailer package, which doesn't use mail() at all, but rather uses PHP's sockets and handles everything internally. Try disabling SMTP and using that ini setting, see if you can send through Drupal. That will use the regular PHP mail() function, which is nothing more than a wrapper for the system's sendmail command.
disabled SMTP, sent message through contact form successfully, no error messages.
thanks again, Jamie More on aliases once I grok the usage cheers
