To get an answer on the VZW mail filtering issue, we'd have to talk to a mail admin at Verizon Wireless, as described by my acquaintance at Verizon Online. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 09:45:00 -0500 From: <REDACTED@verizon.net> To: Steve Sobol <sjsobol@JustThe.net> Subject: Re: [Fwd: VerizonWireless.com Mail Blacklists] Steve, Verizon Wireless is a completely different animal with no, repeat no, relation to VOL at any business or technical level other than being owned by the same mother ship. That would definitely include SMTP or any other mail related protocols transiting my platforms. I have no idea what kind of filters or block lists they use. I will make some inquiries but don't hold your breath, they really are a seperate entity from the trenches perspective. Please do not put my info on NANOG. Thanks.
