Post it on their facebook wall. I was fighting with them for weeks over something and that was the only way it got resolved.

Good idea. I just don't care that much.

Maybe a Verizon customer will do that.

I dont have verizon and no longer receive emails :(
Racing against my NEON is like getting in a fight with a girl, if you win you, you can't brag about it, and if you lose, you hope nobody finds out!

I just send you a test email. It hasn't bounced yet. If it doesn't bounce, it's got to be in a spam trap somewhere.

Just so ya know... Verizon is blocking mail from drivefast.org again/still.

If you have a Verizon email address and you care, go here and request that they whitelist our domain:
http://my.verizon.com/micro/whitelist/

I've already made the request from my end... but, as far as they're concerned, I'm a filthy spammer. So, I don't expect much.

Version has the WORSE customer service and some of the strangest rules. We got FIOS for the office, and it took us forever to get our email addresses straightend out. Then for some reason they refused to install a TV line to the office because it was a new building and no one else there had FIOS TV, but it runs through the same fiber optic line. There were 5 other businesses that had FIOS and wanted TV too, so we all had bright house installed so we could get TV lol.

I actually got a response from them saying that we weren't blacklisted. I sent them a copy of the error message on one of the bounced emails that clearly said that we were (or had been), and told them I just wanted to be sure. My guess is that our server was blacklisted, but being a shared server, someone else who uses the same server probably complained and got it cleared before I ever even noticed the problem.

This is the reply I got today. Pretty respectable service for Verizon.

When I was a Verizon customer, I was under the impression that Verizon Online Abuse was the same as Customer Service....

Yeah. Pretty poor choice of names for a department.

FAST email is bouncing from Verizon again.

I'm done with them. If any of you Verizon customers care to inquire about it with them, have at it. It really shouldn't be this hard for me to send you an email!

Verizon mail is bouncing once again. Seems to be a pretty consistent problem.

I guess the good news is that you guys probably don't get any spam. Maybe.

I wonder if we could pay them to get a "spam free email lane" :dunno:
