No comment on the patch itself, but please fix your email setup.

All the patches were marked as spam, because you sent them from your
vmware.com address, but without going through the proper vmware smtp
gateway.

So they lack the proper vmware DKIM hashes and proper mail handling
should (and does) consider them spam.
