This isn't the first time I'm hit with this nonsense: I can't send mail
to a Verizon email address. And I'm surely not alone.

Just to let people know (Gene!) that I do send mail to them, I'm not
ignoring them. But their provider is ignoring their users.
Yes, I did fill out the whitelist request, twice already. Just enough
to get one mail pass through, and then a few weeks later, it bounces
again.
If people with Verizon email addresses want to read my responses, it's
time to switch providers.
Pfeew, that reliefs the anger a bit...
I can confirm I cannot send email to Gene from work, but I can from home.
Apparently it's unrelated to the sender address, but related to the
outgoing SMTP server.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Actually verizon can and does block based on a number of different
criteria, just as AOL does, the difference is verizon is completely
non-transparent as to what got you blocked, and who you can contact to get
you unblocked. They also seem to have *no* control over their own
automated systems whereas AOL atleast has some.
