And you are saying you needed to go through 4 email providers to find one that uses it? Sounds more like aconfiguration issue on your part to me to be honest.
The nex two "gmail like" free mail sites I have tried was also provided this SMTP interface, but not withouth paying for it. Then Zohomail was the solution, they have a working and free to use SMTP interface.

thanks captain obvious. But that's won't fix the problem.
And i'm not. So what now? Is it a excuse for a crappy driver that is slow and prone to errors? I think not.

So far I did wrote one kernel patch to add a hardware specific quirk. Once I finished the patch, it took me days to figure out how to properly send it to LKML. The email has to be sent with "git send-email", by using an SMTP provider (like gmail). But at that time, gmail's SMTP was simply not working and not just for me... I had to register a new email address but in many free emails, SMTP can be enabled only after paying money... With the 4. email provider, I was able to send that damn email.
In my experience, two type of things exist in LKML world:
-things that are not explained at all
-things that way too much explained, like this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...es.rst?id=HEAD
In short, it's quite hard for a newbie to get adjusted to that archaic LKML world. It is a great filter for lazy people. XD
To mention another annoyance with these mailing lists is that you can't subscribe to just one mailing lists thread. If you want to follow a thread, you gotta first go through all the hoops of creating a separate folder for the mailing list, then subscribing to the whole mailing list, then setting up filters so all this goes into the new folder, and gets marked as "read" unless you're mentioned, and then either remember to monitor this folder for updates to the specific thread, or setting up another mail filter which would mark as "unread" messages that belong to the thread you was interested in.
Jesus…
