i know it does not match. Previously Dan Carpenter also told me the same thing, and I sent a patch from my corporate account. You can find reference of that conversation here https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/473 

copying some part from there :
"I have given strict DMARC check for the corporate mail server. DMARC = domain based message authentication.
So the mail i sent reached all the list subscriber from a different server than our designated server,
and as a result it has been marked as spam in many places. I have already received a few complaints regarding that."

since i do use office resources for patches (though it is not part of my job), so i should atleast put Signed-off to the patches i send. You will see all my patches having different Signed-off and different from adderess.

again copying from the previous conversation:
"Is there any other way that i send the patch from my personal account, and use my corporate mail in Signed-off-by ... "
