Re: Comcast to start using Spamhaus blacklisting

said by OpenMike :

""Sure would be nice if the stop the flow of crap that comes out of their networks. There isn't 10 minutes that passes where they have some zombie that sends us spam or port scans or some sort of crap comes from them.""

This could be said with many providers.
»www.senderbase.org/ Comcast is still #1 spam wise. A close second is Yahoo/SBC. Just use the dynamic rbls or block anyone with a comcast.net address that sends mail to you. Only allow the comcast smtp servers.

·Pacific Bell - SBC

In my experience, SBC Yahoo (which is, now, officially 'at&t Yahoo! HSI) sources about 1/10th as much zombie spam as Comcast.

Indeed, by that Senderbase link, SBC is not even on the map. Please don't confuse 'yahoo.com' email with the nine SBC domains; none of which are on that Senderbase list.

And please note: It is not "Yahoo/SBC", but "SBC Yahoo! DSL Service", or, more correctly, based on official communication from them, "at&t Yahoo! HSI". The new "at&t" is just one of five ISPs which use Yahoo! as a content provider for their customers.
