unable to submit patch with git send email

Dear maintainers of the outreachy team,

I am trying to submit a patch using `git send-email --to
[email protected]` with a few other emails cc'd.

My SSL version is: 2.085

When I am send the mail, I get the following error:
> DEBUG: .../IO/Socket/SSL.pm:851: local error: SSL connect attempt failed error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number
> DEBUG: .../IO/Socket/SSL.pm:854: fatal SSL error: SSL connect attempt failed error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number

I am on Arch Linux, and I have installed the correct version with:
cpan Authen::SASL, and installed the correct perl package:
perl-io-socket-ssl 2.085-1

My .gitconfig looks like this:
[sendemail]
    smtpencryption = ssl
    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpuser = [email protected]
    smtpserverport = 587
    confirm = auto
    supresscc = self

[user]
    name = Saasha Gupta
    email = [email protected]
[core]
    editor = vim
    compression = 0

I am not exactly sure why this issue is popping up, as all the
required dependencies are installed. Can you please point me to where
I might be going wrong?

PS: Regarding the previous mail, I have solved all the problems, and
created a patch.

Thanks, Saasha
