True, to an extent. I don't know about the *berry, but imagine/hope that verizon allow encrypted SMTP-AUTH out on the appropriate alternate port (465/587). Do they ? However, even assuming your user *is* using the *berry server or the verizon transparent proxy, then mails they send will in the main emerge from a legit mail server run by grown-ups, which is far far less likely to be blacklisted then a user sending direct from a hotel connection or mobile dynamic IP etc etc.
