Verizon Your Domain - Keeping verizon.net email and alias?

I have the exact same issue as was previously posted by "ericnyc" which was eventually solved through this forum by a "Private Support Case".  Eric said that they fixed the issue for him, but didn't specify how:

As in the above "solved" thread, I have several old email accounts (1 primary & 2 sub-accounts) created years ago when email IDs were auto-assigned non-specific letters & numbers such as "vze123abc@verizon.net".  You then would create an "alias" such as "myname@verizon.net", which you would use for all your email purposes.  Around 12 years later I find myself in the situation where I signed up for Verizon Your Domain service (VYD) in order to preserve my Verizon email addresses for when I'll soon have to disconnect my FiOS service:

Well, I'm all signed up for VYD, but all I could link are the vze123abc-style IDs and VYD tells me the aliases will all be lost if FiOS is disconnected.  An alias would be a "forward of a forward", which they can't do.  So "vze123abc@verizon.net" is preserved but "myname@verizon.net" is not.  What use is that?  I called Verizon Tech Support, figuring it would be a simple database update for them to replace the ID with the Alias.  They won't do it.  If I can't fix this I'm toast, & will have to update a huge number of accounts that use my verizon aliases and annoy all the people with whom I correspond to update to new "gmail" addresses.

Can an forum admin please create a "Support Case" link for me so that I have a chance to resolve this in the manner that "ericnyc" was able to successfully do?  Much appreciated...
