I'm a DSL customer, and they actually did send several emails to my
verizon email account saying they were going to do this, and
recommending you switch to port 587.  I was a little surprised they sent
multiple notices over a few months time instead of just pulling the
trigger.  (Of course many people sending email to third-party providers
don't check their verizon email, but at least they tried.)
