My frustration also comes from the total lack of help from verizon in dealing
with this problem. I agree that if you are running a misconfigured server or an
open relay you should be blacklisted and banned etc. But .. if I tell you that
in order to send mail to me you must allow certain access to your server you
are ok with that demand?
I am going to get a dump of the session and try to figure out what it is looking
for. Thanks for your help.
