I tried to register with  Microsoft live.  They asked for me email 
address which I typed in (xxx@verizon.net).  They rejected me with the 
message 'The portion of your e-mail address that follows the @ symbol is 
part of a   "reserved domain" such as live.com, hotmail.com or 
passport.com. Please type a different e-mail address.'

I have several e-mail addresses but all are on verizon.net.  For some 
reason Microsoft appears to dislike "verizon.net" because each of my 
addresses elicits the same response.

Could anyone enlighten me about what this is all about?
