Package: git-email Version: 1:2.28.0+next.20200726-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I had set smtpserver and smtpuser, but not smtpencryption; git send-email failed to send email and returned this unhelpful error message. ``` $ git send-email --to="some...@somewhere.org" --suppress-cc=all HEAD^ /tmp/path-to-my-git.patch Password for 'smtp://m...@disroot.org:25': Command unknown: 'AUTH' at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1565. ``` After setting smtpencryption, the command worked. I'd like git send-email to inform the user why this may have happened, and what they can do. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-2-686 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages git-email depends on: ii git 1:2.28.0+next.20200726-1 Versions of packages git-email recommends: ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1600-1 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libio-socket-ssl-perl 2.067-1 ii libmailtools-perl 2.21-1 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.04-1 ii perl 5.30.3-4 Versions of packages git-email suggests: pn git-doc <none> -- no debconf information
