According to your previous email you're running Git 1.5.6.5. That
version doesn't support STARTTLS in send-email, only SSL wrappermode.
Unless Gmail supports the latter on port 465 (which I seriously doubt)
you must either upgrade Git to 1.6.0 or later or have send-email submit
the messages to another SMTP host that can relay the message directly to
the final destination or is capable of STARTTLS-based SMTP and thus able
to connect to Gmail on your behalf. Your Git is ancient so I strongly
suggest the upgrade approach.
