Re: Verizon is easily fooled by spamming zombies

There is no real reason why you should be able to email out with bush@whitehouse.gov using Verizon's own servers.

Not even if you use an SMTP AUTH session and clearly establish your identity as a customer of Verizon? Seems to me that an authenticated SMTP session tends to narrow down the potential source of an email if there is a desire to identify the perpetrator. Some people might consider this to be a good thing. --Michael Dillon
