Totally unacceptable. And with no warning ahead of time. Even the support person I spoke with (one of several yesterday) said he had no warning it was happening either. I've wasted hours trying to fix/work around this to no avail. I filed a complaint with the FCC.

I went to the private message site, following the directions the best I could, and the reply I found was just stated the obvious, namely that Verizon will not longer allow custom domain names in the FROM field.
Am I missing something?

Same boat here. Been checking blacklists, refreshing DHCP IP, about ready to redo my SMTP configuration completely....and on my "relay" account I find a notice about this being turned off. Thanks Verizon! Time to start looking at what Comcast has for their package deal.
Filing FCC complaint now.

The best part about this is that the notification that they were going to do this didn't go to the forwarding address you set up for your account. Somehow Verizon's marketing emails make it to the forwarding address, so you might assume that the forwarding is working, but when they have a service announcement it just sits in the verizon email account that you thought you didn't have to check.
Thank you to all who are filing complaints to the FCC.

Posting to this thread as well (posted to the Thunderbird thread before I saw this explosion).
VERY unhappy about this change. Yes, they "sent" an email (as noted, it did NOT forward, they seem to have simply inserted the email), but I don't check that email anyway.
Furious with Verizon over this change. I only saw the notice yesterday, as I never check my verizon.net account. I know I'm not alone. Their response that you must use that for SMTP is just a huge {word filter avoidance} to it's customers.
