Hey **bleep**head ,

1) There's an active firewall on the router that the PC is sitting behind, so the user won't be 100% vulnerable.
2) Incoming connections require ports to be forwarded to that PC so no one can establish a connection unless they first get access to the router to set up the ports to be forwarded.
3) You're an **bleep**.
Especially since this is a known issue.
I suggest you look at these two threads for a start:
http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_Internet&thread.id=5226
and
http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_Internet&thread.id=5362
And, even a cursory review of the first two pages of this board has more than enough information as to what's going on.
Knowledgeable complaints to Verizon may be part of the answer; AuthSMTP (or similar) is the other, although Verizon customers shouldn't have to resort to using thrid party outbound servers for email delivery that they already pay for.

1) The "hot topic" e-mail issue everyone is talking about involves latency between when they send messages and when they arrive and vice versa.
This means the communication between Verizon's SMTP server and 3rd party SMTP servers is getting delayed.
2) The OP described a problem in which connecting and communicating with Verizon's SMTP server is delayed. This is completely different than the known e-mail latency issue as it involves communication between the OP's PC and Verizon's SMTP server.
So please **bleep** off.
Cheers!
