According to `sendmail -t` they were valid e-mail.

Problem with `git send-email` is it is *required* to be present on a host
with 2 pieces of software/configuration.  It *must* have the entire git
repository.  It *must* be authorized to *directly* send e-mail for the
address.

The host on which I do development and has the appropriate repositories
doesn't handle this e-mail address.  As such `git send-email` is
*completely* incompatible with this setup.

I find your level of difficulty rather surprising.  The messages all have
[PATCH XX/YY] in their subject lines.  They apply fine if applied in the
order sent, quirks in application suggest a missing patch.  In this case
#05 was missed.  This seems odd since the archive
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-xen-devel/2020-December/date.html
shows them as having appeared in order and almost uninterrupted by other
messages.

I'm fairly sure your setup isn't that special to be incompatible with
`git send-email`. For example you can setup `git send-email` to use
arbitrary SMTP server, see here:

No, they don't. Because they are base64-encoded. Patch needs to be in
plain format, not plain format wrapped in base64.
