OT: Most clueless ISP award?

Hi!
Dunno if there is such a prize but I'd give it to verizon.net for
now. If you try to send an email from a perfectly valid MTA which
isn't blacklisted anywhere, you get back this message:
"host relay.verizon.net [206.46.232.11]: 550 You are not allowed
to send mail:sv13pub.verizon.net"
With zero hint what to do about it. With a little searching I
found that verizon seems to simply reject anything not from some
USA domain and perhaps more?
To come around you and the customer you want to send an email are
supposed to fill out some form including all kinds of information
about you/MTA. Despite not anyone knowing all this information,
it seems like a bad joke?
On the other hand, legitimate MTA receive shit loads of spam from
RBL known hosts out of verizon.net network from some of their own
customers 24/7.
So they allow their customer to spam the rest of the world, while
they reject valid MTA without any real information.
Seems like a good idea avoiding business with them?
