I think I heard gmail has incoming SMTP for its subscribers, and I would not be surprised if other free e-mail providers have the same. Perhaps you can use one of them for this purpose?
Yes, I have managed to relay thru gmail. It was a bit hard to set up - build Postfix with SASL, sniff the traffic to figure out who signed gmail's SSL cert (Thawte), download CA cert - but I know how to do it. ;-) The downside is, the gmail relay rewrites the headers in annoying ways, so I'm not using it in general. If necessary I could relay just the "build breakage" thru them. Actually my incoming nimblemachines.com mail gets sent from my dynamic IP thru normal (non-AUTH, non-SSL) SMTP to gmail, and they accept it fine. So if I can send the build results to a gmail account, there are no problems. Hmm - and that account could forward to the git list... - David -- If I have not seen farther, it is because I have stood in the footsteps of giants. - 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
