![]() Here is a link that walks you through setting up sendmail / postfix using Google’s smtp servers and authenticating with your gmail credentials I realized as I typed this that if the smtp server you’re using requires you to authenticate, you’ll need to do more postfix configuration. Then change sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i Search for SMTP, it may be commented out, but change it to this – SMTP=localhost Then edit it – sudo vi /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php.ini You may be tempted to edit myhostname, or mydomain but just leave them commented out.īack up your php.ini file – cp /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php.ini /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php_orig.ini Then edit it – sudo vi /etc/postfix/main.cf I got my start on this quest here – The kicker with this first solution is that XAMPP for OSX doesn’t come with sendmail, so the part about editing sendmail.ini was useless, which essentially makes the post mostly useless to me and other mac users.Īfter digging around I managed to set up something that was crazy simple.įirst back up the file we’ll edit – cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main_orig.cf I’ll post back, when I have an independent solution setup, or if you have one, please feel free to leave a link in the comments, or even better, spell it out in the comments. So, this still isn’t perfect but its working for me at this point in time. The problem with this is – if I’m off campus, I actually have to VPN in, to send email. I happen to be located on a college campus, and all email leaving the campus must run through that, so I’ve set up my machine to use that host. One caveat – you need to have a real live SMPT server somewhere. I messed around with this for quite sometime, and was able to get a configuration that worked for me. If you search around, you’ll find a lot of differing ways to get XAMPP to do this. Whether that takes the form of a forgot password link, a verify email address link, or some other activity notification, typically a local development server install like XAMPP (on Mac) does’t do email out of the box. One thing that we all have to do at some point is create email notifications. I’ve recently upgraded to Mavericks and changed over from MAMP to XAMPP. More detailed information about postfix can be found here.I develop web applications on my MacBook Pro. Check it in your Inbox or Spam Folder" echo json_encode ( $returnValue ) ?> " \r\n " mail ( $to_email, $message_subject, $message_body, $headers ) } function generateMessageBody () ", $your_name, $messageBody ) $messageDetails = $emailMessage $invitationEmail -> sendEmailMessage ( $messageDetails ) $returnValue = "200" $returnValue = "Email sent to ". This will be your “InvatationEmail.php” file. After a few minutes you should receive your email (check if it didn’t go to spam).Ĭopy and paste the following.Open the hostmailer page and add to the browser path input: hostmailer/email/script.php.In the Postfix tab, check the box “Include Postfix service in GroupStart”. ![]() Add an empty “InvatationEmail.php”, “invatationMessage.html” and “script.php” to your “email” subdirectory. Add a new host in MAMP PRO, call it “hostmailer”.You will need to create 3 files, and one new subdirectory. The following will help you send email using postfix. Most of the email providers have a strong filter in their systems, which allows to pass only emails with some default headers. The way we to transport emails over the internet is by using a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) with its Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
