My Verizon problem, which is still ongoing, appears to be a bit different. After some investigation, I've found that Verizon's SMTP server, smtp.verizon.net, is rejecting my authentication credentials, even though Verizon webmail accepts them. (I confirmed this with Thunderbird connecting to smtp.verizon.net, removing postfix from the equation. Then as a double-check, I used telnet to port 465 of smtp.verizon.net, presented my credentials by hand -- properly encrypted -- and it rejected the password.) The weird part is: (1) My credentials are correct, in that they authenticate correctly to the Verizon webmail server... but not to smtp.verizon.net. (2) Changing my Verizon password doesn't help. It updates for webmail, but still gets rejected by smtp.verizon.net. At this point, I can only guess that smtp.verizon.net is out of sync with Verizon's other systems regarding my account. Next time I have a few free hours to waste, I'll try to work it out with Verizon support again. -- Dan Barrett dbarrett at blazemonger.com
