Message-ID: <20180405092358.569e0315.olaf@aepfle.de> My ~/.gitconfig looks like this, because all cloned repositories require these settings: [sendemail] from = Olaf Hering envelopesender = olaf@aepfle.de chainreplyto = false ccover = yes smtpencryption = tls smtpdomain = sender smtppass = smtppass smtpAuth = PLAIN smtpserver = smtp.strato.de smtpuser = smtpuser confirm = always assume8bitEncoding = yes transferEncoding = 8bit Now there is that one repo that requires this: [sendemail] from = Olaf Hering envelopesender = a@b.c smtpserver = otherhost That "otherhost" does just plain oldstyle unencrypted SMTP. How do I undo the global sendemail settings for that one repo? Setting the knobs to empty strings does not help: Command unknown: 'AUTH' at /usr/lib/git/git-send-email line 1455. It seems the global smtpuser is causing the error. Olaf
