Using pMachine
I used the article in MA to set up php and MySql to run pMachine. All is going well for the most part. I wish I understood more code to customize the looks of the site better, but oh well. Anyway, when I send out an email from the site it doesn't get sent. I don't get any errors, it just never actually sends. I went to pMachine's site and they say that php has to be set up to use a mail program or something similar.
This is what I do not know how to do. Do any of you use pMachine and are successful sending emails through it?
Thanks

Re: Using pMachine
The problem is that PHP tries to use sendmail, if I'm not mistaken, to send e-mail. On Mac OS X, Apple broke sendmail. Annoyingly enough, even if you fix sendmail (it's a permissions problem) they will revert to their original state after about a day and sendmail will once again be broken.
I'm not familiar with pMachine; does it have the option to use an external SMTP server? I have a PHP page that connects to and sends mail from an external SMTP server (borrowed mostly from phpBB's similar function) to get around this limitation.
