Supposedly at the end of the month everyone that uses one of their mailservers for outgoing mail will have to use somefoo@verizon.net as the From: header in every message. This is completely bogus unless they are aiming to take over the world and become another AOL. I know there are going to be some pretty mad folks so they ought to get quite a bit of flack over this. Let's suppose they do make it stick though. What other options are there besides addressing every message as being from @verizon.net? You could set the Reply-To: so replies go to the right place. You could probably convince someone to allow you to do pop-before-smtp and relay through their server. You could setup webmail and use it instead. You could setup your own mailserver and send messages through it. Anything else? What about all those small businesses out there that just want to send mail as @somecompany.com and have Verizon as their ISP.
