Package Net::SMTP::SSL

[schwern@…]

git-send-email requires Net::SMTP::SSL in order to send email via a TLS encrypted SMTP server such as GMail. Net::SMTP::SSL is not packaged by MacPorts. It would be very nice if it were, thanks.

See the EXAMPLE section of git-send-email(1).

Just attached a Portfile for Net::SMTP::SSL. I also needed git-send-email and everything seems to work via my gmail account.

Portfile for Net::SMTP::SSL for perl5.

[msmith@…]

How can I utilize this new portfile? I'm experiencing the same issue.

diff between attached portfile and generated portfile

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

The originally attached portfile is probably the better one to go with, I just thought it would be interesting to compare
