([y]es|[n]o|[q]uit|[a]ll): y" prompt and before "Password for 'smtp://XXX@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:587':" prompt I always have a delay of 2-3 minutes. It is weird! "Unsafe clients" are allowed in Gmail settings. I experience this both with @gmail.com mailbox and with gmail-based company domain mail. I noticed this happening the first time several months ago. Has anybody else experienced this? Any solution? My git version is 2.6.4. -- Bluecherry developer. ``` ## Jeff Merkey, 2016-01-03 15:59 Subject: Re: "git send-email" thru Gmail incurs few minutes delay Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAO6TR8UzKR%3DcXu-bgf4HfBwNKrmMx-Ucha-nHUA3ranw2AoxgA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 1/3/16, Andrey Utkin wrote: > After "Send this email?

Tested more with fresh git version 2.7.1.380.g0fea050 (from git's git) # equery list '*' | grep -i smtp dev-perl/Net-SMTP-SSL-1.30.0 mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r3 It seems the delay is caused by git-send-email trying to resolve workstation's FQDN. When I add "smtpdomain = localhost.localdomain" to [sendmail] section in gitconfig, it proceeds immediately. The same behavior (including workaround case) happens with openmailbox.org and fastmail.com for me. BTW "smtpEncryption = tls" in gitconfig seems to mean STARTTLS, so using fastmail's TLS port 465 doesn't work at all, you need to use 587. ``` ## Jeff Merkey, 2016-02-08 00:42 Subject: Re: "git send-email" thru Gmail incurs few minutes delay Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAO6TR8UGwqtsXSoYkxgjMy34rrkHAFJ%2BALf0ufSaA8uDrDmxqQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 2/7/16, Andrey Utkin wrote: > On Sun, Jan 3, 2016 at 3:52 PM, Andrey Utkin > wrote: >> After "Send this email?

I have successfully sent my first kernel patch a long time ago. Also my gitconfig sendemail section follows exactly the gmail-based example from git-send-email manpage. -- Bluecherry developer. ```
