Ma Bell's evil spawn

[John W. Verity]

One serious reason to avoid Verizon Online: They've suddenly decided to 
block virtually all incoming mails originating in Europe, Russia, 
Japan, and other parts of Asia. No explanation, no notice, no 
apologies, just selfish, block-headed attempt to thwart spammers. 
They're not even bouncing mail back to senders overseas, so they're in 
the dark, too.

  Use the phone if you need to contact Europe, says a Verizon PR guy 
quoted in Wired.com. Support reps asked me to supply IP addresses of 
all SMTP servers I'd like to be unblocked, then wait 2 to 4 weeks for 
change to go into effect! Class-action suit underway, I've read, and 
message boards aflame.

  All this for $45/mo.
  I am looking into an alternative service called Runbox.com, run out 
of Norway of all places - $30/yr. Yahoo, too. But I am open to 
suggestions.
