[Killietalk] List problems and Verizon

[Wright Huntley <whuntley at verizon_net>]

Glad to see the list back in the archives, as that's the only way that 
we with verizon.net accounts have been getting it.

After a lot of frustrating discussion with Verizon Customer Support, 
they appear to be treating this list and aquabid as SPAM sources and 
bouncing all messages sent to Verizon.net customers. I was assured that 
I could do nothing to stop them from being my net-nanny, and that the 
list owners needs to take it up with them. I understand Ken Simolo did 
that, some time ago, with no results at all.

I searched their web pages and found the following page:

Apparently they applied a spam filter to all accounts established after 
7/13/2001, and didn't notify anyone! While Customer Support insisted 
they don't block e-mails, my account was set, by default, to block all 
spam e-mail, according to the above web page.

I reset it, and if my account at killietalk hasn't been cancelled again 
due to the huge number of bounces, I will see this note in my regular in 
box. Keep my fingers crossed, as answering archive posts was a super PITA.

Cheers,

Wright

PS. Should we call for a boycott of Verizon.net?
