Does Verio have a "spamblock" type of system in place?

(If it does, the next obvious question is "you CAN override it personally as
a customer, right?")

This should be easy for Enteract to test - they can telnet from their mail
host into the WWA/Verio SMTP port, MANUALLY transmit a message, and see if 
the appropriate "yeah, ok, we got it and will deliver it" message comes 
back from the SMTP server.

If it DOES, then the presumption is on the Verio/WWA server as being either
(1) intentionally blocked, or (2) broken.  If it does NOT, then the error
message at that level SHOULD HAVE been returned to you at Enteract (which
apparently didn't happen).

I ain't even *authorized* to speak for anyone other than myself, so give
up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.

"Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people,
time and time again, and betrayed their trust.  Since he has
admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through
an impeachment.  He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out
his term, the only possible solution is for the president to save 
some dignity and resign."
