Elastic mail account SMTP configuration for git send-email

["Roberto A. Foglietta" <roberto.foglietta@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

 due to the problems related to bypassing my gmail multifactors
account authentication, I decided to use a 3rd party SMTP service like
elastic mail. Here is the configuration. Note: the first e-mail that I
sent with this service has been tagged as SPAM immediately after gmail
reception. Possibly, also the one sent to the m-list with the in-line
patch could have been dealt with as it were spam. Moreover at the end
of the mail has been added an URL.

 == CONFIGURATION HOW TO ==

Elastic mail account SMTP configuration

1. elastic mail - free API account - login with gmail

2. settings - SMTP - Create SMTP credentials

3. use your gmail e-mail address as username

4. copy the password and save in a secure place

5. server name is smtp.elasticemail.com:2525

6. configure and/or use the git send-email

# ~/.config/git/config
[sendemail]
  confirm = auto
  smtpServer = smtp.elasticemail.com
  smtpServerPort = 2525
  smtpEncryption = tls
  smtpUser = <gmail email address>

OR

gmaddr="roberto.foglietta@gmail.com"
isarml="isar-users@googlegroups.com"
git send-email --from $gmaddr --to $isarml --cc $gmaddr --subject
"${mysubject}" --smtp-server smtp.elasticemail.com:2525 --smtp-pass
"${mypasswd}" --smtp-user $gmaddr --smtp-encryption tls
${git-format.patch}

 Best regards, R-
