Not if you have Post.Office installed.

Although the recent Apple update broke their sendmail, this should 
not be your problem if you have Post.Office installed.

Post.Office is a little more strict on the way it interprets headers 
than Sendmail.  Make sure your PHP code has a space between the 
header name and the header information like this:

Subject: Test Subject.

Post.Office may not interpret the header correctly if this is not 
done and could cause mail from your PHP script to not get delivered.

>I recently installed Post.Office.

You need to decide whether you want to run Post.Office or sendmail. 
You cannot run both as mail servers!

Do not start sendmail if you have Post.Office installed!
