This has to do with outside parties' ability to send email to Verizon's users. Maybe this is a good thing. If service providers in Europe find that they can't communicate with the rest of the world maybe there will be some incentive to stop spammers. I've heard that studies show a majority of spam comes from the US, but most of what I see comes from Italy, France, Korea, Taiwan, etc. My mail server blocks entire countries, especially Russia. But then, I know that there is no legitimate email from those places for my domain.
