In this post, I would like to share how to install mail server on Mac OSX. Having mail server is important if you need to send email from your web application in local environment. To do this, we will use Postfix.
Setting an SMTP server for Apple Mail – the default Mac mail client – is necessary to start sending and delivering your emails: but is also extremely easy. Just follow these simple steps: 1. Open the voice “Preferences” in the “Mail” menu. Open the “Accounts” tab and click on “Server settings”. Fill the “Outgoing.
Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), supporting LDAP, SMTP AUTH (SASL) and TLS. In this post, We will setup Postfix to run with SMTP.
Setup
- Mac OSX (I'm using OSX Yosemite 10.10.3).
- Terminal
Postfix Installation
No need it because Postfix already exist as pre-installed on Mac OSX. Open your terminal, make sure you can see response if you type below:
Great, then we are going to configure it to be able for sending email.

Make sure if these lines below are exist
Then, add these lines at the end of file
From codes above, you can see that we use Gmail SMTP for our postfix. Next step is add our gmail's username and password.
and add this line
Then run command below to create the hash db file for Postfix.
Configure the postfix daemon
Add these lines before </dict>
Start the postfix service
* Note that if you make changes in postfix configuration file (/etc/postfix/main.cf), you have to run command

Here is the command you need to execute to test postfix.
If success, you will receive email in your inbox.
