Hi All,
It is possible to use git send-email with an exchange server by using DavMail<http://davmail.sourceforge.net/> as a relay. I would recommend that we encourage those whom work at a company which does not allow outbound SMTP connections to send their edk2 patches using this method. Here is how you configure it: 1. Figure out what your exchange server’s network name is: CTRL + Right Click on the Outlook icon in your system tray, select Connection Status… [cid:image001.png@01D55E9C.2E086970] In the status window there might be a few connections, on my network there was connections to an exchange gateway, and then a single connection to the actual exchange server that hosts my personal mailbox, use that server. [cid:image002.png@01D55E9C.9888F800] 1. Download and install DavMail<https://sourceforge.net/projects/davmail/files/davmail/5.3.1/>. On Windows run the .exe as administrator. 2. It looks like the .exe launchers that come with the Windows version of DavMail and old and intended for Java 7 (which is no longer supported and there are licensing issues.) I was able to run DavMail fine using the RedHat supported OpenJDK 11<https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot> binaries by opening a Windows command prompt and running the following commands: C:\>cd "Program Files\DavMail\ C:\Program Files\DavMail>java -jar davmail.jar 1. In the DavMail settings dialog, choose Exchange Protocol = EWS and enter the server name from Step #1 using the following format: https://<server_name>/owa [cid:image003.png@01D55E9E.53F35F80] 1. Run these commands in Git Bash: git config --global sendemail.smtpserver localhost:1025 git config --global sendemail.smtpuser <your_email_address> For example: git config --global sendemail.smtpuser nathaniel.l.desim...@intel.com 1. Git send-email should now work. It will popup a dialog box prompting you for a password. Use your outlook/windows password.

Leif, So, message body should have the patch changes for easy inline review. It's optional to carry a .diff attachment. Is my understanding correct? > > - Doesn't work for patch series, only for single patches. Laszlo, Do you mean attachment is not allowed for a series of patch? Why? A mail can carry multiple attachments. That makes the patch series easy to fetch in my opinion from Outlook. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
