Hello,

After getting a call from a customer, I went to try to validate the 
email address <user>@verizon.net with my favorite tool, sav I got this 
nice message:

sav <user>@verizon.net
SAV v1.3.0 (C) 2005, 2006 by Eugene Kurmanin - http://smfs.sf.net/
verizon.net is handled (pri=0): relay.verizon.net
Connecting to: relay.verizon.net.
Connected to: relay.verizon.net.
<<< 571 Email from x.X.x.X is currently blocked by Verizon Online's 
anti-spam system. The email sender or Email Service Provider may visit 
http://www.verizon.net/whitelist and request removal of the block.
 >>> RSET
lorimor at verizon.net: Sender address verification failed.


The only thing this server sends out to a connecting mail server is the 
sender address verification (aside from "normal" communication) so maybe 
all those folks who are/were against this type of method have won. Being 
the small kid on the block we will always have to bend to these larger 
companies with millions of customers.

<rant>
I can't confirm that its smf-sav causing the problem, but its the first 
thing that comes to mind. Of course there is no way to actually call and 
talk to someone about this to figure it out. "the worlds largest network 
- not answering calls?" The one tech I was able to get in touch with has 
"no way to contact anyone about the issue". Makes me think of those 
commercials and all those people... nice network there </rant>

Has anyone else run into this with verizon specifically?

Seems Im having to give up my tools.

James
