I've been trying to get setup my Mac OS X (10.5.8) to send emails from localhost so that I can test my scripts.

I normally get success messages, saying emails have been sent but they never reach their destination.

They appear to just get stuck in the Postfix mailq:

bash-3.2# mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

What can I do to get this working?

If it helps, I have imac.dev pointing to 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/hosts

Thanks, P.
