Hi there,

One simple SMTP server on Windows (using Cygwin) is msmtp.

I'd like to use two different SMTP accounts depending on the repository I'm working (this is to get the proper identify on the from header).

I have two accounts configured and working in my ~/.msmtprc named gmail and wanadoo.

I have on my .git/config to send e-mail (and this is working):

[sendemail]
        smtpserver = /usr/sbin/msmtp

This is using the default account as specified in my .msmtprc. I want to use a specific account (say gmail) for this repository, I tried:

[sendemail]
        smtpserver = /usr/sbin/msmtp --account=gmail

but this fails as smtpserver is expecting a simple executable. Is there a way to pass some parameters to an smtpserver specified on a Git configuration?

Thanks.

Pascal.

No, but you could modify this bit in git-send-email.perl:

    } elsif ($smtp_server =~ m#^/#) {
        my $pid = open my $sm, '|-';
        defined $pid or die $!;

Or, to make it work right now: just make a wrapper script.

Ok, thanks for the quick answer and the pointer. I have zero knowledge in Perl so I probably won't be able to do that. I'll see...

Right, I wanted to avoid that.
