Testing Postfix and MAMP with ISP
If you want to send emails with MAMP PRO you have to configure Postfix. You can do that by choosing Server -> Postfix. Although you do not have to do lots of configuration work there are some issues you have to know. Some ISPs do not allow sending emails via Smart-Hosts, others are limited to their own email addresses.
This is why we want to give you an overview of ISPs including their Postfix configurations. As we don't have access to all providers we are encouraging all MAMP PRO users to help us with this. If you are using MAMP PRO with an ISP not noticed below, feel free to try configuring Postfix. The values provided below may help you to find the working configuration for your ISP.
Note:
GMX
Google
1blu
freenet.de
regfish
ALL-INKL.COM
Apple
Optimum
STRATO
WebhostOne

How to show the Postfix log file of MAMP PRO
In this older post we already showed how to send mail with MAMP PRO. But sometimes things are not working like they should. This can depend on several issues:
The most comfortable way to show the log file is using the Console.app.

- Faulty configuration
- Dispatcher ISP denies to send the email
- Recipient ISP denies reception of the email
The most comfortable way to show the log file is using the Console.app.
- Open Console.app
- Choose View -> Show Log List
- Open the folder "FILES" in the Log List
- Open the folder "/private/var/log"
- Click the mail.log entry in the Log List
- On the right side of the window you can see the content of the Postfix log file.

- Open the Terminal.app (Applications/Utilities)
- Enter the following prompt and hit Enter
tail -f /private/var/log/mail.log - You can now read the Postfix log file within the Terminal. The log file keeps updating as new entries apply.
