Not me.
Can you give the exact command you're using? Which OS? Which Git version? If possible, tell us what's on line 775 of /usr/bin/git-send-email

The commad I used was 'git send-email --to xiaoqiangnk@gmail.com --cc xxx@xx.xx xxx.patch'. My OS is debian with linux version 2.6.37-rc2 and git version is 1.5.6.5.
On line 775 of /usr/bin/git-send-email is ' $auth ||= $smtp->auth( $smtp_authuser, $smtp_authpass ) or die $smtp->message;'
Thank you. Yongqiang.

You seem to have configured a username and password for SMTP authentication, yet the server Git connects to doesn't support authentication.
Make sure the SMTP server you've configured Git to use (sendemail.smtpserver configuration variable) is the right one. If so, clear the smtpemail.smtpuser and smtpemail.smtppass variables as you obviously can't use them with the server.
For testing purposes there are options to "git send-email" to override the values set in the configuration files. Those might be more convenient to use when testing out new configurations.

Contents in my .gitconfig file are as follows.
[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser = xxxxxxx
smtpserverport = 587When I remove the line smtpuser. Git said my config file is not correct.
Thank you.

According to your previous email you're running Git 1.5.6.5. That version doesn't support STARTTLS in send-email, only SSL wrappermode. Unless Gmail supports the latter on port 465 (which I seriously doubt) you must either upgrade Git to 1.6.0 or later or have send-email submit the messages to another SMTP host that can relay the message directly to the final destination or is capable of STARTTLS-based SMTP and thus able to connect to Gmail on your behalf. Your Git is ancient so I strongly suggest the upgrade approach.
