I've set up my phone, and receive updates fine. I've also set up posting by e-mail, and that works fine from my GMail account. However, when I try to post from my phone, it fails, with a bounceback message that looks as follows:
From: (Delivery
Error) This is the mail
system at host
smtp.statusnetinc.com.

This has always been the case for me on Identi.ca, with multiple posting e-mail addresses and removing and re-adding my phone multiple times.
Updates
#1
a) I am still experiencing this behavior.
b) I think this may be related to Brion's comment on Bug #2326. Verizon allows you to set up an alias, such that you can use either @vtext.com or @vtext.com. I have such an alias set, so it may be sending it using the format while identi.ca is expecting the format.
#2
Just a note that this issue still exists for me. Additionally, I tried deleting the phone number I had registered, and instead registering with my alias string as the "number", and I still can only receive - sending bounces.

I noticed this bug today while trying to set up my Verizon phone on identi.ca, so I did a little digging. I think I may have found the issue.
When I receive e-mails from my Verizon phone, they come from XXX [at] VTEXT [dot] COM. However, the sql database in smscarrier.sql uses a lowercase version: XXXXXXXXXX [at] vtext [dot] com.
This is a shot in the dark, but maybe it's a case sensitivity issue. If that's the case, why not set the $addr variable in
function user_from_headerto lowercase before trying to look it up (since all of the values in the sql table are lowercase anyway).I've attached a trivial one-line git patch to mainline that does this, and I sincerely hope it works! If you push this patch to identi.ca, then I'll be happy to test it out.
