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@gmail.com 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@vger.kernel.org" --cc "whoever" 00*
