Ah, yes, i got the Authen::SASL errors at first, but even after resolving all missing module dependencies, the --smpt-ssl still did not work for me, so i started looking at other solutions and found Net::SMTP::TLS. > In other words, this patch should be entirely unnecessary if you have > Authen::SASL installed - could you try this? (I've checked for myself, > git-send-email sends me mail fine via gmail without this patch) Well, it fails here, maybe maybe you can show me exactly what you did (configuration/parameters etc)? This is what i do now: > git-send-email testfile.patch -to simon.sasburg@xxxxxxxxx --chain-reply-to --smtp-server smtp.gmail.com --smtp-user simon.sasburg --smtp-pass secret --smtp-ssl --smtp-server-port 587 and it fails, while the same line using --smtp-tls instead of --smtp-ssl with my patch applied works.
