I've been sending patches from gmail for a while without problems. It took me
a while to find a working configruation, but I finally managed to do it using
msmtp. I have
[sendemail]
smtpserver = /usr/bin/msmtp
in my ~/.gitconfig
and the following ~/.msmtprc
======
# Example for a user configuration file
# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
tls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
# My email service
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
from yourgmailusername@xxxxxxxxx
auth on
user yourgmailusername
password yourgmailpassword
# Set a default account
account default : gmail
=========
And to send patches I just use something like
git send-email --to "git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --cc "whoever" 00*

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in
the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
