[Public-list] Comcast blocking email

I think it's been taken care of, but Comcast was bouncing messages and 
some users subscriptions got disabled for a few days.  Apparently there 
was a spam complaint about someone using the same ISP, and Comcast 
decided to block all mail from that ISP's mail servers.

This is especially ironic considering the volume of spam and viruses 
being sent from zombie machines on Comcast's network.  And Comcast's 
customer service contributes to the problem.  When I was a Comcast 
customer, they often started tech support calls by telling me to remove 
my firewall so they could probe my system.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but there's nothing much I can do 
about the situation.  You can check the archives to see what messages 
you may have missed.  See http://alberg30.org/public-list
