LOL. The irony is (based on the statement in the link), my main Verizon
e-mail account is hammered daily by spam. I'm not a mail server genius but,
I am pretty sure they could block half of the spam inbound if they put some
effort into it. As a Verizon DSL customer (currently) I would never
recommend to a business client to use Verizon as a reliable provider for
internet services. The local cable broadband provider is a more reliable and
customer oriented service professional. I think your customer should
research his/her provider alternatives.
