Daniel,
The main problem I see is the use of port 587, which tells me that Verizon
is requiring SSL or TLS connections. If your client is on a Verizon network
(cable or DSL), then your client should be able to use port 25 and not need
to use SSL or TLS.
If you do need SSL or TLS services, I have always suggested we use STUNNEL
to provide those encrypted connections. This is a free to download and use
program, developed in the open source community, and is kept current with
the encryption standards. This simple, nifty program sits between Blat and
the SMTP server, converting Blat's communication into encrypted data going
back and forth. Stunnel can be downloaded from
https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html.
If you are able to check the message archive, there are a number of stunnel
configuration files to review, and these will give you most of what you need
to connect Blat to Verizon over SSL/TLS.
