ubuntu12.04 upgrade: sendmail issue: send-mail: 501 5.5.4 Invalid domain name
 

folks/experts:



previously I had a really handy oneliner that works great for
years:

#put this in ~/bin/test.sh

cat "$1" | uuencode "$1" | mail -s "file:$1, from ping's PC"



then I can send any file as email attachment from CLI,* within
my office, to any one.



but after upgrading to ubuntu12.04LTS, I noticed this tool is
broken now:



** ping@640g-laptop:~$ test.sh temp1.txt songpingemail@gmail.com

1) WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to:
/tmp/keyring-Gjbkfb/pkcs11: No such file or directory

2) send-mail: 501 5.5.4 Invalid domain name (ping@redroute.com)

3) Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1



I'm thinking this might involve 2 issues here:



1) this "gnome-keyring" warning I seems saw also on other
places, that I previously never saw before upgrading.

2) ping@redroute.com is my default company
mailbox, I think this is what sendmail use as the "sender"'s
emailbox

3)
I'm doubting some of my files related to sendmail was
replaced during the upgrading, but I can't remember
which files they are...



does anyone experienced the same issue and found any workaround?
I googled tons of links without seeing a clear clue...

thanks!





regards

ping

Let's compare the Ubuntu and Debian policies regarding html email.

Ubuntu:
Avoid sending emails in HTML format, if possible.

Debian:
Never send your messages in HTML; use plain text instead.

Unless and until Ubuntu changes its policy to look like Debian's,
you're not entitled to make such a request.

I don't know how this happened, guess my TB was somehow changed to
HTML...here is a re-post in pure text:
