Note, google thinks your email is spam as you are not sending this from
a valid vmware.com email server. Please fix this up if you want to make
sure your patches actually make it through...

I used gmail servers since I get complaints (mainly from Linus) that our
email servers use DMARC, and this causes mailing list postings to be
rejected.

I will check again if our open source people got to a solution, or I
would just send it using my gmail identity, while keeping the vmware
authorship.

Well the email servers might not reject it now, but gmail itself sure
does as you are lying about what your domain is :(

Please do, this is not a viable workflow.
