Verizon is rejecting all email

[Paul Didzerekis]

It seems that Verizon has setup a new system where they require that 
all incoming messages to their servers be authenticated by the 
sending SMTP server with User Authentication.  This means that the 
Verizon servers send back a response when SIMS tries to send a 
message and that response requires that SIMS verify that the sender 
of the message is an authorized user on the SIMS server.  Since SIMS 
does not support this all of our email sent to anyone on Verizon's 
email servers gets rejected.

I called Verizon when we noticed that all messages to them were 
getting rejected and had to keep asking for supervisors until I 
finally got to one that knew what the problem was.  They said that it 
was a new policy that their engineers had implemented and that they 
were having a lot of complaints from other ISPs but that they were 
not going to change their policy.  I had them escalate my complaint 
to the engineering department asking to be called back.

Has anyone else noticed this yet and what are we to do, can we hack 
SIMS using ResEdit so it sends the correct response?  Can we please 
get Stalker to modify SIMS so it response correctly?
