Verizon DSL email policy
It appears that Verizon is blocking our mail server. Calls to the online DSL support center have produced a unique answer to each call. A sampling: there is no problem; customers with dynamic IP addresses can not use 3rd party email servers either to read or send mail; ditto but a universal policy; you have been declared a spam source; hung up on; hmmmm. One call got a guy that attempted to help. Any clueful insights appreciated. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601
Thank you for several off-list replies. I was not clear. I did not mean this as a rant against Verizon, I was frustrated at getting any kind of answer. On Tue, 1 Feb 2005 doug@safeport.com wrote:

It may be related to this questionable policy: http://www.wired.com/news/ebiz/0,1272,66226,00.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19567-2005Jan18.html http://www.legalbrief.co.za/article.php?story=20050126082406624 With their lame explanation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50099-2005Jan30.html (While it appears Verizon has targetted non-American mail sources, anytime you wield such a blunt instrument you're likely to clobber unintended parties.)
