b4: Fail to send series with smtpAuth none

b4: Fail to send series with smtpAuth none

[Juri Lelli]

Hello,

My SMTP server doesn't seem to require authentication for sending
patches, git send-emails works well with 'smtpAuth = none' in
.gitconfig. b4, however, seems to ignore that configuration and keeps
asking for a password (and then fails to send).

Is this a known issue? How can I fix/workaround it?

Thanks!
Juri

Support smtpauth=none in sendemail configs

We still don't support the entire range of all possible [sendemail]
section configurations, but it's easy to suppor the special
smtpauth=none setting to not require username/password.

Oh, someone else is seeing this too! I was thinking about how to debug
this. Thanks for reporting it!
