This is a bad move by Verizon.  When I spoke to a customer service rep, she said that I was the third call regarding this. I can't believe that this isn't a major issue for many customers.  They keep locking the threads, so we have to keep opening new ones.  Good luck.

Suddenly my custom domain-based email account cannot be used to send emails. I can receive emails to that custom domain-based email address through Verizon Fios but cnanot send. I have an Exchange account at work and can send fine using that Exchange server. If Verizin recnetly (like today) changed the use of custom domain email addresses, that means I have to use my clunky verizon email. Bogus!

I also did not receive any notice about cusom domain email adderesses no longer being supported. Today all outgoing email just wouldnt send. Can still receive mail from the custom domain email address. Just can't send. Terrible!

Hi Verizon support:

I also am furious about suddenly being denied outgoing email service, starting just today, because apparently Verizon no longer supports custom domain based non-Verizon email addresses. I have been using a custom domain based email to better brand my business instead of using stupid verizon1234@verizon.net. To suddenly not be able to is criminal. Please address the needs of the many businesses posting here. Thanks.

I have been running the same configuration for 10 years and as far as I can see I got 0 days of notification about this change, no email and no postal mail. And worse, I spent a hour online with tech support before they finally asked someone what was going on. I started using a custom domain for email when I changed from Charter to Verizon, so that if I had to change providers again my email address would not change. Maybe it is time to make a provider change.
