I'll hazard a guess: OSX doesn't ship with a local smtp listener
enabled.  (Postfix is present but not configured or set up to run on
boot.)  Since patchbomb relies on smtp, and smtp defaults to localhost,
you have to take extra steps on OSX either to configure postfix or to
configure your hgrc with your upstream smtp relay.  Same situation as
for Windows, pretty much, except that there is a postfix installed if
you know how to enable it.
