I can only think that the settings for the Verizon SMTP server are not
correct. Not being a Verizon subscriber, I can't help with that.

As a temporary measure, you could send mail for the Verizon account
using the Earthlink SMTP server.

You might try the 0.verizon.email groups (at news.verizon.net ) for help.
If you do, be sure not to cross post to outside groups and whatever you
do, do NOT ask for email help in the other groups or their vicious group
of Net Nannies will hound you to your last day.

You are correct. Verizon SMTP server name is outgoing.verizon.net

Thank you very much. You are correct. I was using my email address as
the username. Verizon only wants the portion of the name before the @
sign. I really appreciate the prompt attention paid to us on this news
group. You guys are the best.
