Hi All,

This is not a Linux Kernel related query but is rather on the infrastructure to
manage patches using git. Before asking here, I did some search on Internet and
also posted this query in a different Linux forum but no luck so far. Hence
thought of asking here as someone might have faced this issue, while using the
git send-email feature. I've installed git-core and git-send-email packages on
my Ubuntu machine and I'm using git to generate patch. Now I want to send this
patch, but while doing so, git returns with following error:

"5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first."

Some information regarding my setup:
slackjaw at swamp:~/linux-next$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 11.10 \n \l

slackjaw at swamp:~/linux-next$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[user]
name = Amit
email = [off-list ref]
[sendemail]
smtpserver = smtp.googlemail.com

Try adding to the [sendmail] directive:

smtpserverport = 587
smtpencryption = tls

Also, don't know if it matters, but I have :
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com

Thank you, I added exactly same parameters in my $HOME/.gitconfig file and it
worked.
