For what it's worth, after upgrading here, I got this error at the server side: Jul 26 10:15:41 foo.example.com postfix/smtpd[7736]: warning: TLS library problem: 7736:error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca:s3_pkt.c:1256:SSL alert number 48: This is because my postfix doesn't have a ca bundle configured but all other mail clients have been fine before. With the original patch here I could continue. I'd really love to see an option to set this to none in the .gitconfig, but agree with the principle that it should be one by default and the setting should over ride that. All the best Col PS I'm mainly posting this such that people searching the intertubes for the postfix error above and git-send-email will match at least this message and find the fix/workaround :) -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
