Re: Verizon's spam-blocking policy is insane--and unresponsive
said by mushpuppy  :Choicemail's challenge messages get my outgoing smtp service blocked because Verizon flags me as a spammer. This has happened twice--11/18 and 11/26 (today). FYI I am forced to use Verizon's smtp server because I use FIOS and Verizon won't let me use the smtp server of the company that provides my pop service. FIOS support says 500 outgoing messages in an hour is their threshhold to flag as possible spammer. If Choicemail is sending out that many challenges, I can understand why they would block your outgoing mail.
Verizon does allow you to use a third party smtp service. I have a domain which includes email, and use the pop and smtp service provided by my host without problem. I think (I may be wrong) Verizon's smtp will only pass messages with a verizon.net domain in the From address.
Your problem may stem from trying to manage accounts from multiple domains through one smtp server.
I'm not familiar with Choicemail. I use a system that filters by multiple conditions, the last being a Bayesian filter. Since I generally do not expect to receive legitimate messages from China, country blocking is one of my filters. It cuts down on the number messages that I verify manually. |
