How to send mail using PHP mail () and MAMP Pro?

Question

I am developing a website that will use the PHP mail () function. I am running MAMP Pro (primarily because it has a Postfix function that should be useful for sending emails). I feel like I tried everything, but my program will still not send emails. It doesn't even matter to me that I use mail (). I just want to be able to send emails from my local MAMP Pro web server so that I can check my site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You need to configure it for your ISP.

Other than that, I agree with the comments. What is your provider? What does php tell you? Also, read your postfix log file and let us know what it says:
