             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.
