That's PMMail's generic "something went wrong with SMTP" error. The
problem is that PMMail doesn't check the beginning of the transaction
very well, so it often doesn't figure out that something's wrong until
submitting the RCPT command.

You can try manually submitting a SMTP transaction to the server to see
if there's something strange about the way Verizon's server works:

HELO myhostname.domain.com
MAIL FROM: <pj.chris@verizon.net>
RCPT TO: <pj.chris@verizon.net>
DATA
From:  <pj.chris@verizon.net>
To:  <pj.chris@verizon.net>
Subject: test
