Emails from my domain have recently been blocked

[rollson8]

I used to be able to send emails to my vtext account and they have been blocked.  They were working 2 days ago, now I get all the emails returned.  See below:

Reporting-MTA: dns; se3-lax1.servconfig.com

rollson8, thank you for informing us of this. From our internal resources, it states that vtext is no longer available. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. -Alicia

Is this a recent change?  This was working until last week.  Even now, about 1 out of 5 emails still get converted to SMS and sent to my phone via vtext.com,

I see no official announcement from Verizon.

Yes, it is recent, the service has been sunsetted and that there is a new service that can be paid for called E-Mag (enterprise messaging access gateway) that will need to be utilized in place of the former @VTEXT.com service.

How do you explain this page still on the Verizon website this morning:

Let me make sure I am clear; Without notification to it's customers Verizon is migrating a simple, free and useful service to a paid service?  Ignoring paying customers?

Other carriers offer this service for free with similar coverage.  After 20+ years it may be time to switch to another carrier.
