PHP + postfix email problem

[Anon]

I'm running Postfix as my mail server on my Mac OS X 10.1.1 and it works fine. On the same machine I have Apache & PHP setup, which works fine for the most part.

If I use this machine as a SMTP server, there is no problem, everything works fine. But when I try PHP's mail() function, the Posffix log says:

Dec 10 23:39:01 localhost postfix/sendmail[12351]: fatal: unknown mail_owner configuration parameter value: postfix

There is a user "postfix" and precisely the same configuration works when using the SMTP server.

In php.ini I have:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Any ideas?

Well, it seems PHP would like to use sendmail
and not postfix as SMTP daemon; because
look carefully to the log file entry : it's
sendmail complaining about postfix
something; Why sendmail ? because PHP is
configured to use sendmail; you should re-configure PHP to use postfix instead.

Yes, but postfix masquerades as sendmail. That is not the problem.

The problem may that your http user account has no
record/home-directory assigned to it in the user database.
