Huh? By default 'git send-email' uses sendmail, but of course you can configure any MTA that you want. I use for example msmtp (git config --global sendemail.smtpserver=/usr/bin/msmtp), which automatically chooses the right SMTP configuration depending on the From address (@gmail.com, @nokia.com, etc.) Of course, 'git send-email' can also act as an MTA.
