Verizon's SMTP blocking is NOT an anti-spam measure, as the company claims, but a way to force their users to switch domain hosts (Interland is their outsource partner). Once you switch, they allow you to use your own domain name in outgoing emails. Anyone can send an email through Verizon's smtp server so long as the reply address is in the verizon.net or bellatlantic.net domain, regardless of the validity of the account. (I just tried, and I'm not a Verizon customer). Any spammer can use this essentially open relay. _________________ Kai Lui Computer Consultant kai () kailui com ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
