Actually it sounds like you'd be better off moving to a different email
provider. Have you ever thought of installing your own SMTP server or does
Verizon block that? Another solution would be to host your mailing list
elsewhere. There are lots of different mailing list hosts that can also help
with the handling of nonfunctional addresses.
There are no shortcuts for moving members between Outlook distribution
lists.
