_www is probably the user account of your local Apache server/PHP script attempting to send mail. I’m honestly far from a sysadmin and can’t support this. I wish I could, I mainly posted this as what I ended up doing based on some other posts I found, and what worked for me.

Not quite sure. This was mainly a re-post and modification of another post’s steps to fixing the issue. Are you on Leopard or Snow Leopard?

I’ve done this, but the e-mails aren’t going through.

To make sure the problem isn’t PHP, I put the mail() in an if statement, and it passes.
No errors appear in mail.log

Suggestions?
