dear Nanog
Sorry to bother you, I am sitting here in shock, I have been a =
Verizon to FiOS customer for about the past six years at least I think =
maybe eight. every now and then the Verizon server will bounce an =
email back and tell me that it=92s busy or not functioning but just now =
it bounced one back and I=92m sorry I don=92t have a screenshot of what =
it said but it clearly said that it considered me to be a spammer. I =
may be a lot of things but a spammer I am not. ;-) when I get an =
email bounced back Apple OS X always volunteers to use the pair =
networks server and I always automatically take that choice giving it =
never a second thought.
it also reminded me that there was a limit on the amount of private =
emails a customer could send.
And it said I needed to take the alleged spam and send it to=20
spamdetector.update@verizon.net and if I remember correctly wait at =
least an hour and then try to send the message again.
Stating very clearly that no human being would talk to me.
what in God=92s name is going on? Please a year and a half or two =
years ago when a route to Ecuador was being filtered a couple of NANOG =
folk knew whom to contact and the problem was fixed in record time. I =
am hoping that I will experience the same thing. I should not be a =
stranger to any old time Nanog-ers. but right now I=92m feeling really =
paranoid!=
