It's true, Verizon have apparently blocked all email from RIPE, APNIC allocated addresses (Europe and Asia Pac) starting Dec 22 2004. Apparently MessageLabs took 2 whole days to get onto their whitelist.

Yes, I think they host a lot of spammers. I only get spam/virus mails from Verizon here (Netherlands) so I blocked dsl-verizon.net in postfix and it that means about 100 spams/viruses less per day. If they want to sent real mail they still can do so through the smtp-servers of their provider. There was a funny message on the net lately, about Verizon planning to block all European mail-traffic because of spam. We had a good laugh about that over here.
