What do you mean "it's an invalid email address"? You can definitely
send emails there... I prefer people not to use Google partner domain
accounts in the hope that their employment might outlast their
involvement in Google projects, but that is it.

I think if we ask people to stick "From: <whatever the company address
is" in the body of the patch we can ignore the difference between sender
address and from/signed-off-by when they use partner domain accounts. If
anything, such accounts have better vetting than a random gmail or other
free email service account some vendors have to create to be able to
send a plain-text emails that we require. I mean, we have
"Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <lkml@....org>" present in our git
history and nobody bats an eye...

Thanks.
