We have been seeing this also for about the last week.  Our Verizon reps are 
telling us we need to pay for their EMAG (Enterprise Messaging) service to not 
get blocked.

I've been looking into this exact thing yesterday: Verizon's mail-to-sms 
gateways. Might have been going on a long time and I’m just noticing.

No emails are accepted between 0:00 to 11:59 UTC time every day (the deferrals 
during that time frame are a somewhat misleading AUP#CNCT from Cloudflare)
Emails are accepted only between 12:00 to 23:59 UTC time every day.

12 UTC is 7 EST

So in my opinion this looks like an enforced “do not disturb” by Verizon to 
ensure SMS delivery only between 7am to 7pm EST time - during the "social 
hours" or whatnot. At least one other ESP I have contact with has confirmed 
they're seeing exactly the same time frames.

I'm not a fan of the somewhat unclear bounce/deferral string they're returning 
but I don't think Coudflare is doing it on their own, it's too clean of a 
cutoff time - probably a Verizon rule.

This is new as the past few days and rather odd.



Mail sent through the Verizon email-to-text gateway is fine during

the day when the relay is:



relay=vrz-mms.mx.a.cloudfilter.net. [52.37.233.84]



or



relay=vrz-mms.mx.a.cloudfilter.net. [35.169.108.175]



but starting somewhere around 5pm MST, mail sent to vtext.com,

vzwpix.com or mypixmessages.com is deferred:



relay=smtpin02-mms.vzw.a.cloudfilter.net. [52.33.196.155],

dsn=4.0.0, reply=421 vrz-ibgw-6003a.ext.cloudfilter.net



Mail sent from gmail makes it through.



Sometime around 5am the following day, a resend of the mail makes

it through again, but then it's hitting one of the two other servers

listed above.



I'm not the only one seeing this:



https://community.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-Messages/Vtext-messages-Severe-Delay/td-p/1240767/page/7<https://linklock.titanhq.com/analyse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.verizon.com%2Ft5%2FVerizon-Messages%2FVtext-messages-Severe-Delay%2Ftd-p%2F1240767%2Fpage%2F7&data=eJw1jU8LwjAMxT_Ndmtpt27z0oMgogfxIAiepO3CVljX0Xbq_PTGfxDywi_vJUbWhWoqLQRjnOu8lffUUx-63ElOLrtS76-rYwd5lE7ZwU9E-3k0EDPBvuBjDjJY06vQUh-1DyPg-n9oln1KU8zKdVZssYx3bh5tWugNgn36kSJBnips5y8iB4hRdfgGUYJHIu4HyAkwBmQDg1reqZZMKLwQrKkbnCZ0oTQvE9JIig%25%25>



Going the other way, text-to-email seems to work fine and it arrives from

(in one test) twbgohaavzwvcmta-c-nk-x-00-sms-02.vtext.com [63.55.64.200]

after first going through m04.vzwpix.com (unknown [63.59.66.15])



If anyone from Verizon or cloudfilter.net is listening, please

advise.



Cheers,

Zube
