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.

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@gmail.com --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.

What am i missing?
