Postfix error on Ubuntu 10.04 Server

[jiblett1000]

Hello All,

I have a php contact form used in a website on my server (using apache2). I have postfix installed and running but I am getting this error:

postfix/sendmail[20252]: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option


Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I am new to linux and server config in general...so be gentle

Hello All,

I have a php contact form used in a website on my server (using apache2). I have postfix installed and running but I am getting this error:

postfix/sendmail[20252]: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option

I fixed this error by passing the -t option to the sendmail path in the php.ini file. However I am still unable to successfully send a message from the contact form. The site's mx records are hosted on a remote server. I don't know if that makes any difference but thought I would mention it just in case.

How can I make this damn form work?! Would really appreciate some insight into how to set this up.

We're not mind readers!

What?! I thought you all had a third eye!

Anyways. Here are the new errors I am getting although for some reason they do not appear in mail.error, only mail.log:

UPDATE: I changed the postfix setting myhostname to localhost and have the following configuration now:

myhostname = localhost
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all


I now get the following error:
