Messages aren't sending from Mac

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities jondrdad,

If you're not receiving messages on your Mac, you'll want to ensure that the settings on both your iPhone and Mac are enabled for iMessage and SMS relay.

Begin with setting up iMessage:

1. In the Messages app on your Mac, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.
2. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
3. On your Mac, open Messages, choose Messages > Preferences, then click iMessage. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
4. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.
5. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone. If you're not using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, a verification code appears on each of your other devices: enter that code on your iPhone.
6. As long as your iPhone is turned on and connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network, new SMS/MMS texts can be sent and received on the devices that you added.
