A report claimed that Verizon is dumping email sent to the USA from outside the country.

And, it continues, the practice started on Christmas Eve. The filing on the message board claims that a rep for Verizon couldn't understand why any US citizen would want email from abroad.

It continues that Verizon would need a list of email addresses so it could let them through.

Wow, now that's a stupid idea. If this is true and Verizon really doesn't understand that people want to receive mail from other countries, then they need a new management. That statement is pretty offending to the rest of the world. For those interested, there's a more detailled explanation at Neohapsis. Verizon proves that the default management rule is true: "Nobody of us is as dumb as all of us".
