Hey all, unfortunately these questions are outside of the scope of my knowledge, this is all compiled from other solutions I used that I found via Google.

Good luck and sorry I can’t help further!

@Wanda this post is nearly two years old, so I’m sorry I’m really hazy on the solutions even I used to do this. This was a few weeks of painful clamoring around for me, as I’m not that skilled in sysadmin on any platform… I’m sorry I can’t be of more help!

I’m not sure what the “this file is going away” is. May want to consult nano’s docs.

I am stuck at point no. 1.

I can’t seem to add MAILSERVER to the list in the terminal. I believe that I have change the php,ini file and default php.ini file and understand how to restart Apache. I just don’t know how to enable PostFix or whatever mail server I have – Mac OS X 10.5.8. Any help would be appreciated.

This is awesome thank you very much, i really enjoyed this article – a great programming lesson, now my XAMPP local server it´s sending and receiving email data, a must do for testing a buddyPress environment and learned a little more of command line in terminal and GNU nano 2.0.6 text editor, beautiful!
