I've been sending patches from gmail for a while without problems. It took me
a while to find a working configruation, but I finally managed to do it using
msmtp. I have

[sendemail]
        smtpserver = /usr/bin/msmtp

in my ~/.gitconfig

and the following ~/.msmtprc

======
# Example for a user configuration file

# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
tls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile ~/.msmtp.log

# My email service
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
from yourgmailusername@gmail.com
auth on
user yourgmailusername
password yourgmailpassword

# Set a default account
account default : gmail
=========

And to send patches I just use something like

git send-email --to "git@vger.kernel.org" --cc "whoever" 00*
