Verizon was blocking email to Verizon customers and bouncing email from ISPs the world over, as millions of Verizon email customers and those sending email to them were affected over the weekend and beyond when Verizon’s anti-spam spam blocking technology went astray. As a result of a spam blocking snafu, Verizon wireless began blocking email from mail servers and ISP the world over. In fact, some of you did not receive some of your Internet Patrol alerts because - yep, Verizon was bouncing them (oh, the irony!) This is not the first time that Verizon has blocked massive amounts of email - not by a long shot. In fact just last week we reported on the settlement of a class action lawsuit against Verizon, for the damage caused to Verizon customer by Verizon’s blocking of email from entire countries. This time it appears that it really was in error, and that Verizon has been working on it to fix the situation as quickly as possible (in fact we are getting reports that it was resolving as early as Sunday). So, if you are one of the folks who have been bitten by this, the good news is that Verizon isn’t really blocking your ISP, and you don’t need to do anything about it except count to ten.

This is the wrong way around - Verizon should be working to block OUTGOING spam. Roughly 65% of spam I receive comes from Verizon. It’s sick.

What irritates me is that I can send cell phone pictures from my Verizon cell phone to Gmail just find, but not to my verizon email address. WHY?! I’m paying for both!
