Sending MMS & verizon

OK... I'm not looking to get the whole MMS vs email pic sending discussion that can tend to get vicious here... BUT I was wondering if anyone else is having issues sending pictures from their iphones to verizon customers via the vzwpix.com addresses. Literally 8 times out of 10 i get a failure notice (i have included an example below) and then randomly (RARELY) the picture will go through. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the photos that are rejected and those that are accepted as oftentimes the same ones get both rejected and then finally accepted. This happens at all times, day or night, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with busyness either. I do not know if this is an issue with just verizon customers, as I seem to pretty much only exchange photos with people from that carrier. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am sending them via a wifi connection (it NEVER has been successful on edge) I know people keep saying it's just as easy as MMS, but this has been a constant problem and for me has been not nearly as effective as MMS (yes, I love my iphone in every other way.... NO I am aware it's not just for sending pics..... YES, i could get another phone if I so desired... don't care to hear that argument hahahaha) Anyway, again, any suggestions would be much appreciated... Here's a rejection email below. Thanks!! Best! 🙂

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.

This is not an MMS issue. You are sending via WiFi to an email address and the response is coming from an email server, so this is purely an email issue.

It could be that the verizon does not like accepting email from Yahoo. Not a good answer, but some ISPs regularly block Yahoo, gmail, hotmail as they are huge originators of spam and scams. This doesn't explain why it is intermittent though.

I would have this person open a ticket with VZW - copy in the error info you provided and make VZW fix it as it is the VZW mail server that is having a problem.
