Attach your smtp settings, most likely that you have misconfigured git send-email. Otherwise try refreshing/checking your ssl certificates at /etc/ssl/certs

i have also added the:
sendemail.smtppass= myGMAILpassowrd

You will have to generate app specific password for authentication if you have 2-factor on your gmail account. Please refer to this - https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email

Check your .gitconfig -

[sendemail]
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpserverport = 587
smtpencryption = tls
smtpuser = gmail_username
smtppass = app-password

The above should work.
