While I can't speak to what Verizon is using, Both Exim and Postfix have the very same feature called "address verification". Its in use at a number of ISPs. My systems reject 1000's of messages every day because of verification failures.
That would be 1000's of other people's servers getting traffic from you because someone forged their address in the spam. You are effectively doubleing the total load spam places on the net. This doesn't scale. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- chris () westnet com -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
