Yes, and sendmail on macOS is just a front-end to the Postfix system. The trouble is that Postfix isn’t actually configured, so it looks like all sendmail will do is write the email to a mail queue that’s not being processed by anything. (You can read the main page for sendmail for details.) You can set up Postfix without much trouble, but I assume you want your daemon to work on anyone’s machine without them having to spend 5 minutes mucking about with command-line tools first... —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
