My interpretation of his error is different from yours.  From what I
see, he is a Verizon customer, and his machine connected to Verizon FIOS
is unable to send email via the Verizon server.  Ordinarily this sort of
configuration would be bog-standard; it's what they want their customers
to do.  In this case, however, they've instituted some sort of ban in
which his Verizon IP is no longer permitted to send email via the
Verizon server.
