This server is an open relay. It's been on RSS since Sept. It's also on
njabl.org, and their web site is responding more quickly.

Verizon has been contacted many times about this and either doesn't care or
just doesn't know how to fix it.  In fact, the MAPS page has a specific
message that they must be contacted by a Verizon rep to have it removed.

It will relay for anyone who gives a @verizon.net return address.
