Verizon Blocking 4chan

An anonymous reader writes "According to 4chan's owner and administrator 'moot,' Verizon has explicitly blocked all traffic on their network from boards.4chan.org, where all of 4chan's boards are located. Moot explains that only traffic to and from port 80 is being dropped and they were able to confirm that it was intentional. 4chan's downtime for Verizon users has been in effect for at least 72 hours since Saturday, February 7."

I think email Port 80 blocked for STMP

I have Verizon DSL, and I seem to remember that they block port 80 for pop email. They claim it is an anti-spam action, and that many email providers do it. That may have something to do with this claimed problem
