my parents were using Verizon here in Tampa. As far as I can tell,
anything sent through their network on SMTP silently disappears unless
it's sent directly through Verizon's SMTP servers.
That means you can't put up your own local mail server and expect mail
to be delivered through Verizon. You MUST contact Verizon's own SMTP
servers to send email. The problem with that is that you can only send
mail through Verizon's SMTP servers if your "FROM" address is your
Verizon email address. So if, like my parents, you have an account
somewhere else like [someone]@thegliddens.org, you can't send email
through Verizon using that address because the SMTP servers will deny
it.
It's the most f-ed up situation I've seen, completely unecessary, and
does absolutely nothing for preventing SPAM, which I assume is the
reason it's configured the way it is.
So I put a modem and a second phone line at home and now they dial up to
my home network where everything works correctly, like crack-smoking
f-ing idiots DIDN'T set up the network.
