Hi, Tutor
Thanks. unfortunately, it doesn't work on my side. Problem is on our email server side, not my local setting.
I followed your configuration, then git-email failed.
Please just change my S-o-b to 'Bean Huo (beanhuo) <beanhuo@xxxxxxxxxx>' in my patch to please checkpacth.pl. It is not huge change.
Thanks,
