keep in mind I'm just thinking out loud here, but is it possible that
verizon is using someone else for dial access in places? So, perhaps these
are VZ customers doing the proper helo based on their funky mail client?
You might be right.

I couldn't get to 63.24.130.230, but from my person server (which has no relation to VZ's network):

This is much better than I originally thought.

Still think they should allow sending mail from their network though. :)
