Advanced Git Send Email Configuration Options

sending. Must be one of 'always', 'never', 'cc', 'compose', or 'auto'. See `--confirm` in the linkgit:git-send-email[1] documentation for the meaning of these values. sendemail.mailmap:: If true, makes linkgit:git-send-email[1] assume `--mailmap`, otherwise assume `--no-mailmap`. False by default. sendemail.mailmap.file:: The location of a linkgit:git-send-email[1] specific augmenting mailmap file. The default mailmap and `mailmap.file` are loaded first. Thus, entries in this file take precedence over entries in the default mailmap locations. See linkgit:gitmailmap[5]. sendemail.mailmap.blob:: Like `sendemail.mailmap.file`, but consider the value as a reference to a blob in the repository. Entries in `sendemail.mailmap.file` take precedence over entries here. See linkgit:gitmailmap[5]. sendemail.aliasesFile:: To avoid typing long email addresses, point this to one or more email aliases files. You must also supply `sendemail.aliasFileType`. sendemail.aliasFileType:: Format of the file(s) specified in sendemail.aliasesFile. Must be one of 'mutt', 'mailrc', 'pine', 'elm', 'gnus', or 'sendmail'. + What an alias file in each format looks like can be found in the documentation of the email program of the same name. The differences and limitations from the standard formats are described below: + -- sendmail;; * Quoted aliases and quoted addresses are not supported: lines that contain a `"` symbol are ignored. * Redirection to a file (`/path/name`) or pipe (`|command`) is not supported. * File inclusion (`:include: /path/name`) is not supported. * Warnings are printed on the standard error output for any explicitly unsupported constructs, and any other lines that are not recognized by the parser. -- sendemail.annotate:: sendemail.bcc:: sendemail.cc:: sendemail.ccCmd:: sendemail.chainReplyTo:: sendemail.envelopeSender:: sendemail.from:: sendemail.headerCmd:: sendemail.signedOffByCc:: sendemail.smtpPass:: sendemail.suppressCc:: sendemail.suppressFrom:: sendemail.to:: sendemail.toCmd:: sendemail.smtpDomain:: sendemail.smtpServer:: sendemail.smtpServerPort:: sendemail.smtpServerOption:: sendemail.smtpUser:: sendemail.thread:: sendemail.transferEncoding:: sendemail.validate:: sendemail.xmailer:: These configuration variables all provide a default for linkgit:git-send-email[1] command-line options. See its documentation for details. sendemail.signedOffCc (deprecated):: Deprecated alias for `sendemail.signedOffByCc`. sendemail.smtpBatchSize:: Number of messages to be sent per connection, after that a relogin will happen. If the value is 0 or undefined, send all messages in one connection. See also the `--batch-size` option of linkgit:git-send-email[1]. sendemail.smtpReloginDelay:: Seconds to wait before reconnecting to the smtp server. See also the `--relogin-delay` option of linkgit:git-send-email[1]. sendemail.forbidSendmailVariables:: To avoid common misconfiguration mistakes, linkgit:git-send-email[1] will abort with a warning if any configuration options for "sendmail" exist. Set this variable to bypass the check.

This section outlines additional configuration options for Git's send email feature, including settings for mail mapping, alias files, and SMTP server connections, as well as deprecated options and variables to customize the sending process and avoid common misconfigurations.
