Re: anybody here from verizon's e-mail department?

Which probably means Paul is blocking whatever server Verizon is using for its sender verification

Something I've seen before is a lot of mail servers will wait 10-45 seconds before presenting an SMTP prompt to remote hosts; spambots typically won't wait that long and give up. But since Verizon's sender verification (as of a couple months ago; haven't checked recently) times out after 30 seconds, that technique can have the side effect of making Verizon customers unreachable. -- Dave Pooser, ACSA, CCNA Manager of Information Services Alford Media http://www.alfordmedia.com
