If you are having issues with your university gateway you might want to
consider using b4's web endpoint:

  https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/send.html

of course you will have to manage your patch series with b4 to do that.

I think you can set up via Source Hut's send-email web form:
