A clip from a recently recieved email from my soon to be ex ISP states:
Dear Verizon Online Customer:
If you are sending email using an email address other than one provided by Verizon Online, this message affects you. Effective, August 8, 2001, you will no longer be able to send email from any email address other than the one provided by Verizon Online (this includes privately branded domains and secondary ISP accounts).
We are taking this action as a result of our continuing efforts to improve the quality and reliability of Verizon’s mail system and is one of several steps to help reduce spam. The effect of this change is that Verizon Online email will no longer support sending email from other ISP accounts or privately branded domains that are not hosted by Verizon Online.
This has to be the lamest thing I’ve ever heard of. It’s part of what I pay them for for chrissakes!

oh so interesting. thank you. good to see people are working it out. maybe Verizon will take the hint that this is a lame attempt at spam blocking and will only serve to piss off their customers.
