I ended up needing to use a separate *Mail Transfer Agent* (SMTP-speak for
"SMTP client") and plumb it into git. For this, I used `msmtp`.
First, store your SMTP email password in the system keyring:
```
# on KDE
$ kwallet-query -w user@example.com kdewallet -f mail
# on GNOME/other things supporting freedesktop secrets
$ secret-tool store --label=msmtp host smtp.migadu.com service smtp user myuser@example.com
# on macOS
$ security add-internet-password -s smtp.migadu.com -r smtp -a myuser@example.com -w
```
I use KDE, so this setup uses the KDE wallet to store the password. If you use
macOS, GNOME or the future version of KDE that supports the freedesktop secrets
system, **remove the `passwordeval` line from the sample config here** as
`msmtp` can get the password from your keyring by itself.
Then write a `msmtp` configuration file:
{% codesample(desc="`~/.msmtprc`") %}
# Used to identify which account you are using in the msmtp command line
account myaccountname
