gmail smtp server and git-send-mail. Is this combination working?

Hi all, as I previously wrote I would like to use git-send-email to send out a series of patches. While I was looking for documentation I saw the following statement in the git wiki:

" Mailing off a set of patches to a mailing list can be quite neatly done by git-send-email. One of the problems you may encounter there is figuring out which machine is going to send your mail. I tried smtp.gmail.com, but that one requires tls and a password, and git-send-email could not handle that "

Is this statemant still correct ? Is msmtp the only solution for using git-send-mail with gmail? (tls + autentication).

Thanks.

regards,
