I have installed mysql database and the Apache Web Server. The only thing left for me to do is to get the email server question answer.

First, I was told that I needed an smtp server to configure php to use php.ini via email. Later, I found out that I can only do this with sendmail.

After looking at my machine, an Intel Imac, I found out that Apple no longer supports sendmail and they have instead switched to postfix.

Can I install postifx as a mail server and configure php to use via php.ini for email? If so, I would rather go this way, since it is already built into the machine. If not, I can go ahead and download sendmail, install it on the machine and hopefully get my forum up and running.

with kind regards

As long as it is configurable by the php.ini it should work fine.
