So after my mega long week, in which Matt informed me that I did 2 weeks worth of hours, I thought it might be quite nice to chill out with a bit of Linux installation. This did not go well, and I ended up binning the whole thing (after burning the above CDs with various distros that didn’t want to play ball!) and going back to OSX. I’ll have to put Windows back on soon as well, as I feel an FPS week coming on!

So I couldn’t figure out any way of doing this, and I can’t stand stuff like this beating me so I’ve been messing about with it for the last hour and it’s finally working so I thought I’d share what I’ve done. Maybe this will get spidered, but mostly it’ll be here for my future reference!

The long and short of this situation is that OSX includes sendmail, but it seems to be some sort of alias for postfix, so you should actually be configuring postfix. Right now, I should probably clear up that I’m by no means an expert on any of this and it’s all been trial and error for me so far so if it doesn’t work for you, I can try and help but I can’t promise anything. …
