Re: Emails not getting through to my email account
Go to »dslstart.verizon.net and log into your primary email account. Click on Check My Mail, then Options, and the Block Sender tab. Select Save messages to folder... and select or make a folder. Be sure to scroll down and click OK. Then add the email addresses AND domain (@...) to the Safe list. Again, be sure to click OK. It's always a good thing to check the Block Sender folder to make sure emails from places you want to get mail from are not there. Give this process about 24 hours. Then go to dslstart.verizon.net and click on Resource Center and go to Announcements. You want to click on the Statement From Verizon Regarding Spam Filtering 01/17/05. Part way down the message you will see the part where you click "here" to fill out the form. I hope this helps. |

the publicized "fix" (and a silly one at that) is to CALL tech support and have them "whitelist" the addy or ip block you need. so far, that is the only way around the international block, until they come to their senses.

Here we are, almost 3 months into this fiasco, and people are still suggesting that the mail is being caught in a standard spam filter.
That's why it is not a good idea to confuse people by stating that you have whitelisted your correspondents. You called Verizon, and asked them to unblock specific addresses. Eventually, they might, or they might not, do that, and they won't tell you whether they have or haven't, or what "logic" they used to make their decision. And if they do decide to allow that IP address to send mail to Verizon.net addresses, they will be able to send it to any verizon.net address, not just yours. |

@verizon.ne |  You have to request specific domains and addresses be whitelisted. What a crock.

| Well, I did that back on 6 Feb 2005 for BBR/DSLR Reports. Trouble ticket is marked as closed on this subject on 7 Feb 2005. Rather obviously (from my other thread) that doesn't make a rat's ass worth of difference.
Furthermore, I can find absolutely no blacklist on which BBR/DSLR is listed.

| Look at the headers of one of the notification e-mails that you sent to your Errols address, and find the IP address of the machine that actually delivers the notification to the Verizon SMTP server. Submit that IP address to Verizon.
Unfortunately, it looks as though nobody is going to force Verizon to stop this stupid policy. |

| That's already been done . . . twice now in fact, once in early Feb and again a bit earlier today.
I see they've opened a new trouble ticket for me (whoopee doo!  ) I'm kinda curious how long it's going to be before they simply mark this one closed without resolving the problem. Can we start a forum pool on that?
Since there was no e-mail or other communication last time, this time I was specific (repeatedly) call me if you need further information.
