I thought I was the only one having this problem. Seems, I'm not alone ;-) Until recently I was using the email address,

kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com

to send patches. Last week, I got the same error message you did and tried to fix it in various ways but failed in my attempt; got fed up and switched to another mail address I owned (the current one) using which I'm able to send patches (surprise !). Fortune for me as, it wasn't a big deal. I think this is an issue with Google.

(I still don't know when I'm going to get the error for this one. I don't have ideas to change this one.)
