FWIW, OS X comes with sendmail installed, you just need to enable it in the /etc/hostconfig file. Perhaps Communigate Pro has a "sendmail" type wrapper that you can point the php sendmail value to. I've heard that qmail has such a script. Check with CG Pro support for more info. Another option would be to use Manuel Lemos' excellent SMTP class for sending you email directly through an smtp server. <http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/> Of course, then you wouldn't actually be using the mail() function.
