Certainly my sending address is legit and will accept email. I'll have to 
crank up the logs to see if the verizon server is being blacklisted on my 
end.

>Bogus domains or domains that you don't know anything about?

Humm... might have been legit domains. I know I tried a few different 
things, some of which were most likely legit domains (like 'mydomain.com' 
and 'test.com'). But I think I also tried random characters for the 
domain. Although since I always did the .com TLD, I suppose my random 
characters could have turned out to be a legit domain.

However, I KNOW I did random characters as the user portion, so unless my 
random domains also hit ones that accept any user, I would think it 
should have rejected at least one of my attempts.

I have NOT ruled out that my domain is simply blacklisted on their end. 
I'm attempting to track that down.

Yeah, but mine just wasn't keeping the setting. I'd change it, but it 
kept changing back. (yes, I made sure to refresh the web page to see what 
the current setting was, plus I would go into the log to see if it was 
doing the new level anyway). I'm sure its a fluke and a reboot will fix 
it, which I will do as soon as I move the pile of machines so I can get 
into the server closet.

I have to update to d14 anyway, so I already have an excuse to get in 
there.


Thanks for the info. At least now I know what to look for in the logs to 
see if I'm being blocked by Verizon's test or not.
