I am having trouble getting git send-email to work:

[sj@black patches]$ git send-email --smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com --smtp-user=hvammen@gmail.com --smtp-ssl --to=hvammen@gmail.com 0001-Documentation-for-joining-more-than-two-histories.patch 0001-Documentation-for-joining-more-than-two-histories.patch Who should the emails appear to be from?

[sj@black patches]$

I am using Fedora 7, and have installed git from source (git version 1.5.5.54.gc6550, a few private patches that should not be related to this problem). Can anyone help me locate the RPM that include Net/SMTP/SSL.pm?

Without --smtp-ssl I am getting this after I have typed in my password:

Command unknown: 'AUTH' at /usr/local/bin/git-send-email line 744, <STDIN> line 1.

Heya,

I get the exact same error when I try to send an e-mail like that through git-send-email. I resolved to sending the mail through my ISP without supplying a username/password. That is, all I did was configure: sendemail.smtpserver=smtp.myisp.nl If you find a solution to this I'm interested in hearing how you solved it :).

Probably perl-Net-SMTP-SSL, or perl-Net-SMTP

Alternate solution would be (if it is your private box) to configure your MTA, be it sendmail, qmail, postfix or mSMTP / sSMTP. If it is not your provate box, chancce is that somebody configured MTA, and can simply use git-send-mail without providing --smtp-* options.
