I do not know if it happened to all verizon customers, but back in March, all my email accounts where moved to aol. So my @verizon emails are absolutely no different than any of my free @aol accounts.
Thanks for the heads up - I obviously missed that. It's a little confusing because I can get my IP unblocked from verizon and the list shows as being delivered... but when I try to send to aol with the same IP I get a typical AOL error message. Makes me wonder if the emails are actually getting delivered to verizon.
