PHP mail() function not working in Mac OS X

I followed all the links given in this post, nothing worked out.
Please explain me why PHP mail() does give so much problem? What exactly happening and why it will not work?
I am using macOS Lion (10.7.3).
I did all changes whatever is necessary like:
setting MAILSERVER=-YES- in my /etc/hostconfig
Setting sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i in php.ini
Setting myhostname variable in /etc/postfix/main.cf
Setting hostname/User/Pass in submit.cred
So please give me solution other than changing those files.
Problems I am facing are:
As soon as I start postfix, I will get warning messages
sudo postfix start
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /etc/postfix/main.cf
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /etc/postfix/submit.cred
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by _postfix: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/./master.lock
postfix/postfix-script: warning: group or other writable: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
In mail.log , I will get the following output:
postfix/smtp[470]: 211B318690B: to=<test@example.com>, relay=none, delay=86583, delays=86521/0.05/62/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:4002:c02::1a]:25: No route to host)
postfix/smtp[473]: connect to test@example.com : Operation timed out
postfix/smtp[473]: to=<test@example.com>, relay=none, delay=169837, delays=169717/0.04/120/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to example.com: Operation timed out)
When I ping to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com, it will say
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
36 bytes from IPADD: Communication prohibited by filter
(Note that IPADD means some IP address is given there.)

you've got a firewall preventing pings from reaching google, the postfix warnings are clear enough... it's not configured properly, you've got communications issues, etc... and this question is offtopic for this site, since it's server configuration problems, not actual programming issues.

Ask your ISP what server you should send outbound mail to, and configure your server to relay to your ISP's server. Otherwise, you're going to have to administer a real Internet mail server, and that's a pretty huge undertaking.

We just did that yesterday by simply following this blog post. It configures your Mac to deliver eMails to Google mail.
All the links you were following simply activate the mail server, but if it is not configured properly, your mail orovider will not accept the email as it will be regarded as spam. So be careful! You might convert your Mac into a spam-machine!
Oh, and the warnings are simple warnings, so you should fix them, but you might also ignore them.

In addition to the answer given by @heiglandreas , make sure you chown the respective files as the warning messages tell you so. "Not owned by root"

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
