That's a good thing. Their specific implementation did not work well,
and caused a lot of failures and needless delays for legitimate
correctly working mail. We have a few newsletters with 100K+
subscribers, and verizon had the worst delivery time and success rate of
all the major US ISP's back when I was tracking it last year.

The mantra was "use Verizon for access, but use someone else for mail."
