Error while sending patch using git send-email
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 = <[email protected]>
[sendemail]
smtpserver = smtp.googlemail.com
git command to send patch:
slackjaw at swamp:~/linux-next$ git send-email --to "abc at xyz.com" 0001-Adding-debugging-level-for-printk.patch
The above command returns with error message as mentioned above, whereas my expectation was that git should ask me to enter my password and then send the mail to the destination mail id.
I'm able to send and receive mails when I use thunderbird's default settings (In-fact I 'm sending this mail through Thunderbird) which means that there is no issue with the port number or the authentication method for the outgoing mails.

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.

I should have checked for sample .gitconfig file bit more. After updating it with proper values, git send-email worked. My apologies for being impatient.
