Problems getting git-send-email to work

[Sverre Hvammen Johansen]

I am having trouble getting git send-email to work:

[sj@black patches]$ git send-email --smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com
--smtp-user=hvammen@gmail.com --smtp-ssl --to=hvammen@gmail.com
0001-Documentation-for-joining-more-than-two-histories.patch
0001-Documentation-for-joining-more-than-two-histories.patch
Who should the emails appear to be from? [Sverre Hvammen Johansen
<hvammen@gmail.com>]
Emails will be sent from: Sverre Hvammen Johansen <hvammen@gmail.com>
Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?

I am using Fedora 7, and have installed git from source (git version
1.5.5.54.gc6550, a few private patches that should not be related to
this problem).  Can anyone help me locate the RPM that include
Net/SMTP/SSL.pm?

Without --smtp-ssl I am getting this after I have typed in my password:

Command unknown: 'AUTH' at /usr/local/bin/git-send-email line 744,
<STDIN> line 1.

Heya,

I  get the exact same error when I try to send an e-mail like that
through git-send-email. I resolved to sending the mail through my ISP
without supplying a username/password. That is, all I did was
configure: sendemail.smtpserver=smtp.myisp.nl  If you find a solution
to this I'm interested in hearing how you solved it :).

Probably perl-Net-SMTP-SSL, or perl-Net-SMTP

Alternate solution would be (if it is your private box) to configure
your MTA, be it sendmail, qmail, postfix or mSMTP / sSMTP.  If it is
not your provate box, chancce is that somebody configured MTA, and can
simply use git-send-mail without providing --smtp-* options.
