Sandy,

I am finding out that while the price is good at Verizon, don't expect 
any support from the phone techs.  The answer, however, is on the mail 
link on the main web site, http://dslstart.verizon.net/.  Look under 
"Reading mail with Outlook and other mail programs" (or something like 
that).

The outgoing or SMTP mail server is outgoing.verizon.net.

Your username is the same as your POP username,  If you are 
sandy.bee@verizon.net, your username is "sandy.bee".

Your password is the same password that you use to retrieve mail.

I tried to give you a step by step in my last email.  You should also 
take a look at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/08/msg00277.html 
which is coincidentally entitled, "Woody, Roaring Penguin PPPoE, 
dyndns.org, and ddclient wierdness"  If you substitute Verizon for 
dyndns.org, the problem seems strangely similar to yours, and the 
solution for that person is posted there.
