I administer a web application that allows users to send email from the application via their email account's SMTP server. Yesterday I began receiving complaints that users with @verizon.net email addresses could no longer use this feature, receiving a timeout error on the SMTP connection. This problem only exists when attempting to connect via SMTP and send email from my application's production server. Attempts to connect and send from testing platforms using different IP Addresses work fine as always.
The IP address in question is not on any blocklist that I have checked. I can't locate any whitelisting procedure to verify an IP address to connect to Verizon.net's SMTP, only a procedure to have an outside email address that cannot send in to verizon addresses whitelisted. Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?
