I'm having trouble using `git --send-email` to send a patch in.

I am trying to use this email address (mcp...@nau.edu) with the
following settings in my global config:
```
[sendemail]
    smtpencryption = tls
    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpuser = mcp...@nau.edu
    smtpserverport = 587
```

Although it is an NAU account, it routes to a gmail inbox.

I've also tried the SSL settings from this page:

What email service do you guys use and how did you set it up for the
commandline?

I remember having problems when sending a patch using `git --send-email` which was due to `perl-authen-sasl` (that's what it's called in pacman on archlinux, not sure what it would be called on your system) package not being installed. Git send-email relies on that package being there, but for some reason might not have it as a dependency. Try checking if you have it.

Also, is there any error message, when `git --send-email` exits, that you could provide?
