Hi, I don't recall any interactions with Verizon's abuse team. I often send them complaints, such as about attempted logins from their IPs, and sometimes they bounce with bizarre reasons. Today's:
Reporting-MTA: dns; tpaapd1kva103.verizon.com Final-Recipient: rfc822;ab...@abuse.verizon.com Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) '[Errno 61] Connection refused' (delivery attempts: 0) They received the message 3 seconds after it was generated (see Received: headers below) but claimed it was too old. I have a list of IPs without an abuse team to which I add abuse@ addresses after they bounce (which increases their bad karma and prevents further submissions). Verizon doesn't always bounce, just sometimes. I haven't added them to the list yet, but I wonder if they do anything about the complaints I send them.
