It's possible. I will check with our IT department. You may be aware 
that Qualcomm was previously using @codeaurora.org mails and this is my 
first time using new mail address.

I tried sending a patch to my personal Gmail address and it looked to be 
happy with the DKIM signature provided.

Please let me know if I should resend the patch a different way for you 
to be able to pull it in.
