"git send-email" thru Gmail incurs few minutes delay

"git send-email" thru Gmail incurs few minutes delay

[Andrey Utkin]

After "Send this email? ([y]es|[n]o|[q]uit|[a]ll): y" prompt and
before "Password for 'smtp://XXX@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:587':"
prompt I always have a delay of 2-3 minutes. It is weird! "Unsafe
clients" are allowed in Gmail settings.
I experience this both with @gmail.com mailbox and with gmail-based
company domain mail.
I noticed this happening the first time several months ago.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any solution?
My git version is 2.6.4.

Yes. I see it.  It's the gmail smtp gateway but 3 minutes is short, I
am seeing longer.  It's gmail not git.

Does it work better if you store the (preferably app-specific) password in
smtppass in .gitconfig?

Tested more with fresh git version 2.7.1.380.g0fea050 (from git's git)
 # equery list '*' | grep -i smtp
dev-perl/Net-SMTP-SSL-1.30.0
mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r3

It seems the delay is caused by git-send-email trying to resolve
workstation's FQDN.
When I add "smtpdomain = localhost.localdomain" to [sendmail] section
in gitconfig, it proceeds immediately.
The same behavior (including workaround case) happens with
openmailbox.org and fastmail.com for me.
BTW "smtpEncryption = tls" in gitconfig seems to mean STARTTLS, so
using fastmail's TLS port 465 doesn't work at all, you need to use
587.

Thanks Jeff, but I believe there's nothing new for me. I have
successfully sent my first kernel patch a long time ago.
Also my gitconfig sendemail section follows exactly the gmail-based
example from git-send-email manpage.
