Hi All
For some time now I have been totally puzzled by my inability to e-mail
people whose ISP is verizon net.
In a newsletter I subscribe to (THE OSTG UPDATE February 21, 2005),
(newsletters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
http://newsletters.ostg.com/wws/sigrequest/ostg-update
comes an explanation.
I wonder if other USA ISPs, such as pacbell do the same; now that I see
this report, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

February's Toast to Tech Evil

Steve Mallett writes "In this month's mocking toast To Evil! Danny
O'Brien finds evil within Sun's Hotspot Java Machine, Sun's CSL (the
other license), and the foolhardiness that is the "secret" email
filtering techniques of our ugly American Verizon.net in Europe: "...
banning email coming from countries outside the USA. Given that most
spam comes from American companies, this sounds a bit like fighting
stings by locking yourself in a beehive, and smearing yourself with
royal jelly. But mostly, it's odd because eventually those foreigners
are going to find someone they *can* communicate with. And once they
snap out of that crazy bloo-bloo language they all speak, and talk
proper English to a journalist, Word Will Get Out.""
