         Verizon.net is blackholed on our networks two reasons:

         1. The sheer volume of spam courtesy of their netblocks, and

         2. The sheer audacity of their "whitelist" arrangement in
                 which I and my customers have to give *them* our personal
                 data to send their users e-mail...while verizon itself
                 apparently does nothing to curb its outbound spam.

         Since verizon.net was blackholed on our networks, our spam level
has gone down significantly; almost as much as it did when we blackholed
all of China.
