Verizon Blocks European Emails

A friend and client, writing me thrice in December, was completely blocked and manage to get an email to me via a third party with Earthlink (the company I'm switching to). I didn't know what he was talking about, stating that Verizon was blocking Europe. But when I discovered two days ago that the European based company hosting my website was also blocked, I went ballistic with Verizon's technical support, their reasons ranging from an anti spam war to stating what was decided to be done needed no explanation nor warning to their paying customers. I find this to be an utter invasion into my privacy, and feel it necessary that all Verizon customers become aware of current events with their accounts. Heaven knows who else has been blocked – I don’t really have the means of knowing. I won’t miss Verizon as I don’t miss AOL.

Re: Verizon Blocks European Emails

Verizon is currently not blocking dslreports.com so much as refusing to allow dslr's mail server to connect - according to nil »Missing password change confirmation.

They also seem to have disenfranchised, blocked, hacked or otherwise disregarded wsj.com and washingtontimes.com. Who knows who else.

If it was just france, I wouldn't mind so much ...

Re: Verizon Spam Policy

It took about 2 months for me to be able to finally sign up for Microsoft security updates last week. I would never get the confirmation email from Microsoft. The tech folks at Verizon said it definitely was not them and Microsoft said it definitely was not them either. Ridiculous.

I was also told my email address was "hardcoded" into my account and to change it I would have to cancel the service and wait between 4-6 weeks for a new one. I filed a PSC complaint and had it done within 3 days.
