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.

Which assumes one's git repositories are located directly on the Internet
(one of the most secure places, really!) and nothing filtering port 25...

Ah ha.  That sounds like the listserv is encoding things base64, which
could cause problems.
