Assuming that the Internet connection is coming from Verizon, then
we can rule out a port 25 block. The next most likely cause for that
error is interference from a non-compatible antivirus program.
Which antivirus is it?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, the antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
