Dear Verizon,

There is very little chance I am interested in recieving Emails posted from a latin american IP address that contain links with
obscured addresses like the one shown below. As far as I know the ability to enter web addresses like this is simply an unasked for
extension of the web only used by people writing exploits of one kind or another - gee thanks Mr. Gates!

Could you (verizon) please block at least these most basic of junk emails. By the way - SPAM filtering is on in my profile.... And
by the way this email is to my main verizon email account that supposedly is only known by verizon itself.

Just my 2c.

I pull my VZ e-mail through G-Mail (it can retrieve other POP accounts).
When I went from ISP spam filtering to Google's My spam dropped form
around 60-100/day to <5/month. I don't know what they are doing but it
seems to be very effective.
