Verizon.net is blackholed on our networks two reasons:
1. The sheer volume of spam courtesy of their netblocks, and
2. The sheer audacity of their "whitelist" arrangement in
which I and my customers have to give *them* our personal
data to send their users e-mail...while verizon itself
apparently does nothing to curb its outbound spam.
Since verizon.net was blackholed on our networks, our spam level
has gone down significantly; almost as much as it did when we blackholed
all of China.
