It may be related to this questionable policy:
http://www.wired.com/news/ebiz/0,1272,66226,00.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19567-2005Jan18.html
http://www.legalbrief.co.za/article.php?story=20050126082406624

With their lame explanation:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50099-2005Jan30.html

(While it appears Verizon has targetted non-American mail sources, anytime 
you wield such a blunt instrument you're likely to clobber unintended 
parties.)
