I'm using git send-email with this configuration:
[sendemail]
  smtencryption = tls
  smtpserver = smtp.gmai.com
  smtpuser = srabbelier@gmail.com
  smptserverport = 587

It'll ask you for your password when you're sending the emails. Like so:

$ git format-patch --no-color -C -M origin/master..topic-branch -o outgoing/ $ git send-email --compose outgoing/00*

Of course you should substitute specific things as appropriate, I doubt you'll want to be sending your patches pretending to be me :P.
