Huh, that's odd. I haven't ran into that issue when working with people
from Linaro in other subsystems.

As a sanity check, I used 'git send-email' to send this patch to
check-auth@...ifier.port25.com and it verified that I still have SPF,
DKIM, reverse DNS, etc. all setup properly on this domain.

hotmail.com addresses are the only ones I've had issues with in the
past, but I doubt you're forwarding your email there. :)
