Create a Send-Only SMTP Server on macOS

This post describes how I configured Postfix on my Mac to relay outbound email via my Pair Networks SMTP service.

Why? I am creating a local website development environment where PHP applications may generate email messages for contact forms or notifications. For example, after installing WordPress, it generates an email message announcing a successful install. However, I can use the built-in mail command to run a simple test to verify that my send-only mail service is working.
