I don't think the problem is running an SMTP server to send and
receive mail (at least not on my account because I do it all the
time) but rather using Verizon's SMTP servers.
I run an SMTP server on my Verizon account here in New Port Richey and
I send and receive mail with no problems, but (as Derek stated) if I
use Verizon's SMTP servers to send mail the "FROM" address _MUST BE_
my Verizon e-mail address below or it will be dropped.
If this is an attempt to stop SPAM, I can attest to the fact that it
sure doesn't work very well :))
