If at least one of the specified mechanisms matches the ones advertised by the
SMTP server and if it is supported by the utilized SASL library, the mechanism

--smtp-pass[=<password>]::
Password for SMTP-AUTH. The argument is optional: If no
specified (with `--smtp-pass` or `sendemail.smtpPass`), then
a password is obtained using 'git-credential'.
+--no-smtp-auth::
+ Disable SMTP authentication. Short hand for `--smtp-auth=none`

--smtp-server=<host>::
If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use (e.g.
`smtp.example.com` or a raw IP address). Alternatively it can

- 'cc' will avoid including anyone mentioned in Cc lines in the patch header
except for self (use 'self' for that).
- 'bodycc' will avoid including anyone mentioned in Cc lines in the
patch body (commit message) except for self (use 'self' for that).
- 'sob' will avoid including anyone mentioned in Signed-off-by lines except
