VZ and VZW are completely separate (from an SMTP point of view)

To get an answer on the VZW mail filtering issue, we'd have to talk to a
mail admin at Verizon Wireless, as described by my acquaintance at Verizon
Online.

Steve,

    Verizon Wireless is a completely different animal with no, repeat 
no, relation to VOL at any business or technical level other than being 
owned by the same mother ship.  That would definitely include SMTP or 
any other mail related protocols transiting my platforms.  I have no 
idea what kind of filters or block lists they use.  I will make some 
inquiries but don't hold your breath, they really are a seperate entity 
from the trenches perspective.  Please do not put my info on NANOG.  Thanks.
