Yes, that's the correct format. But it's not what you wrote first time.

Ah. You're using outgoing.verizon.net as your smarthost. (I don't recall
you saying that, either.)
The hostname component is matched to the target address, which most of
the time will probably not be your smarthost. So in order to make this
work you will need to change the hostname to "*" so that the rule applies
to all outgoing email regardless of actual destination.
