Configure git send mail for yahoo email

Configure git send mail for yahoo email

[Anand Moon]

Hi All,

Could some one guide me how to configure .gitconfig 

I have tried following commands.

git config --global sendemail.smtpserver smtp.mail.yahoo.com
git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 4100
git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption ssl
git config --global sendemail.smtpuser moon.linux at yahoo.com
git config --global sendemail.confirm auto


But I get following error:
Unable to initialize SMTP properly. Check config and use --smtp-debug.

So? Did you use --smtp-debug?  Did the resulting output help any?

Hi Valdis,

Finally I got it working using following configuration 


git config --global sendemail.smtpserver plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 465
git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption ssl

I thought the port 4100 in the original mail looked fishy.  Whatever
gave you the idea to try that?  I'd like to list the source in my
collection of wildly unreliable info sources. :)

Hi Valdis,

I had the same doubt with the port number.

I got the above setting from below link which turn around to be wrong.
