Thanks for this. Very promising. I got it working from my normal
machine (OS X 10.4.2) from both a regular stack and a cgi.
But I can't get it to run on the machine I want to use (OS X
10.3.9). I get this error:
postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file

Googling for this brings up a lot of discussion about unix/
postfix configuration issues. (Not really a place I want to go.)
But no obvious solution so far.
postfix is an email sending program - a replacement for the normal
sendmail.
It is "sendmail compatible" (to some level of compatibility) -
sounds like it is either misconfigured, or somehow the machine has
got both sendmail and postfix running and they are in conflict.
(www.postfix.org)
I'd start by trying sendmail from the command line - can it send
mail at all ?
If not, fix that before doing anything from Rev.
If it can, then try a variant using the same switches as you intend
to use (may be a problem with mail lists, or multiple addresses,
etc. ) and then with the same list of addresses.
.... and about then I run out of suggestions :-(
Thanks, Alex. As you probaby saw, I managed to get it working,
applying the sophisticated method of "turning it on".
I've never paid much attention to how mail works on any computer I've
used. I just take it for granted. On OS X, I knew that Postfix was
installed, but had no idea how it was used, if at all, by e-mail
applications. I still don't know. I just hope by starting up
postfix, I haven't created a calamity of any kind. Fingers crossed!. :-)
Cheers
Dave
