答复: Inquiry Regarding Sending Patches to DPDK

[王颢 <howard_wang@realsil.com.cn>]

Dear Morten,

I have successfully resolved this problem. Prior to the tests, I overlooked the necessity of disabling smtpencryption. However, upon modifying my .gitconfig file as demonstrated below, everything now functions flawlessly. If IT allows anonymous email sending, then the 2FA problem will be solved.

[user]
        name = howard_wang
        email = howard_wang@realsil.com.cn
[core]
    editor = vim
[sendemail]
        smtpserverport=25
        smtpserver=smtpsrv.realsil.com.cn
        smtpdomain = 172.29.32.27  

Thanks!
Howard Wang

External mail.



Howard,

I'm using.gitconfig to configure my git send-email options. Try this in your .gitconfig:

[user]
        name = Howard Wang
        email = howard_wang@realsil.com.cn

[sendemail]
        from = Howard Wang <howard_wang@realsil.com.cn>
        envelopeSender = howard_wang@realsil.com.cn
        smtpServer = smtpsrv.realsil.com.cn


Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,
-Morten Brørup
