1st up:
someone using a verizon.net email address is spamming me to the tune of 200-500 a day.
I've replied to this email and asked to be removed. I received the email back addressed to me???
2nd:
Today, March 7, 2012 I can receive email, but I cannot send email.
Overall, a frustrating afternoon.
suggestions?

I have had Thunderbird set up for months using a verizon.net address and can send just fine. Here is a link to a thread I created documenting my settings:

As to getting spammed and responding, in general that is the worst thing to do, you are telling the sender that it is a real live email address with a human there. If the spam is all coming from one or a few email addresses, I suggest you log into you Verizon webmail account (http://webmail.verizon.com/) and block the sender(s) or maybe the entire domain if it is from multiple email addresses on the same domain. An example of blocking senders:
Hope this helps.
