Re: gmail smtp server and git-send-mail. Is this combination working?

["Jason Sewall" <jasonsewall@gmail.com>]

I've had luck with msmtp: http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/; it's
basically a drop-in replacement for sendmail that supports the
authentication gmail requires.

A quick prayer to the Gods of Google portended this blog entry, which
spells out how to configure it for gmail pretty plainly:

Then you just need to specify --smtp-serve /path/to/msmtp to
send-email and you're all set.
