Hardly. I don't even use comcast except for email I don't care to receive. I just like provoking people. I run my own email server and I've never been compromised :-)

Have a nice day.


sounds like you need to read the acceptable use policy, running mail servers are not aloud]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7308227 Fri, 04 Jul 2003 02:22:16 EDT Re: Seems like a one man campaign on the Comcast forum http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7307005 anon : pobox.com provides a great service--one email address that never changes, regardless of the changes in the ISP landscape. Which is invaluable to those of us who have been using the Internet (and email) since dirt. I suggest you look at pobox (or a similar service), and the reasons why people pay for that service.

That's great, except the services being mentioned do not have a reputation for being used by spammers.

The point I was trying to get across was just that. Comcast, in their infinite wisdom, has started using a technology that obviously isn't ready for prime time. As a result, legitimate business will suffer. I still don't think they should filter at all though.

See my response above. I don't use comcast email.

It's why I chose the one I did. In fact, the one I use does not provide the ability to send email from one person to another through its services (i.e., no open relay). It simply collects my email and forwards it where I tell it to.

I think a solution tailored to actually fix the problem would be most appreciated.

First of all they'll tell you to jump off a bridge and second of all, I PAY for comcast mail and EXPECT to get ALL the mail addressed to me. If you get junk mail it's your problem, NOT MINE and others who are missing emails from comcast blacklist ips.

Tell a comast business account holder that you don't care if he/she losed 1000's a day because of missed emails due to comcast's buggy isp blocking email system. He/she will spit in your face.

Now go talk crazy somewhere else. We're all stocked up here.

There are plenty of support forums on the web, including here at dslr that provide help and assistance in setting up filters for spam. Or you could purchase, for a nominal fee, a helper utility for your email client.

Stop asking everyone else to do your work for you. If you were naive enough to give some 2bit website your "real" email address or ignorant enough to sign up for some e-mailing list with your primary email account, then shame on you.

I, for one, don't want comcast blocking ANY email sent to me. I hate spam as much as anyone else but if someone doesn't want to look out for themselves, it's their problem not the ISPs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7300741 Thu, 03 Jul 2003 12:01:44 EDT Re: Seems like a one man campaign on the Comcast forum http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7300646 scaredpoet : That's all fine and good, but they're blacklisting domains such as pobox.com. Most poeple on pobox (myself included) use the service because it has spam *filtering* technology that you have complete control over. All of my mail goes through pobox, and if some spammer has found a way to circumvent spam filters, I can add a filter of my own. Not to mention, a LOT of former attbi users have pobox because they like the idea that if their e-mail address ever changes (and it has of course), then they won't have to sweat it because they've given out their pobox.com address instead. You just direct pobox to forward mail to the new domain and you're done.

Why comcast would block legit domains is beyond me. Maybe they just don't like admitting that their customers are tired of their e-maill address changing so often, and have to resort to remailer services like bigfoot and pobox.
