Tell Verizon customers to get another address. That is the only solution that works for Verizon subscribers for very long (based on 15 years of Mailman-Users posts), they have never been a high-quality email provider. Further, Verizon (as an email provider) is in the process of dying anyway (they are very much alive as the new owner of AOL), so improvements in their email practices have a likelihood of zero to the resolution of a C float.

Yes, Mark reminded me that Verizon still isn't accepting mail from mail.python.org, despite multiple contacts from the postmaster team. So they are pretty much a lost cause and no one should use them for email, I think.

However, the "poor reputation" comment came from the error message returned by gmail when it bounced the spam-bounce-reports bugs was trying to send to Ezio.
