said by newview :If a picture is worth a thousand words . . . then this one speaks volumes. If the Comcast Abuse dept was properly staffed and did its job, these bot controlled PCs would be taken offline until the customer learned to protect their computers. And Comcast just has to take the chance that these idiots will not like that and will go to another provider.

If Comcast would just follow the lead of Cox, Bellsouth, and at&t. Block outbound port 25 to SMTP servers other than their own message submission servers.

| They aren't blocking port 587, they just aren't listening. If you go to the Comcast site, and look through their Help menus, you will find out how to configure mail clients to use port 465 with SSL for accessing the Comcast message submission servers. It should work just as well from the Comcast network as from an at&t connection (which is, mostly, port 25 blocked).
As for other services, well; maybe ISPs aren't compliant, but many mail services are:
AIM Mail: Port 587 (I have not tested whether it requires STARTTLS)
at&t (formerly SBC): Port 587w/oSTARTTLS
Comcast: Port 465w/SSL
GMail: Port 465w/SSL, Port 587w/STARTTLS
GMX Mail: Port 465w/SSL, Port 587w/STARTTLS
MyRealBox: Port 465w/SSL
Yahoo! Mail (U.S.): Port 587w/oSTARTTLS
That is, by no means, an exhaustive list. I believe Earthlink should be included. There are others.

| And I do advocate the use of port 465 as well. I do like running submission w/TLS on port 587 and have since configured this on the mail server I manage at work since this discussion started several months ago.
I don't use any of these sorts of services you list (except Comcast now and then) as I go with my own hosting company. I would hope that more and more consumers would ask their ISPs to do this.

Well the spew is back UP again today . . . this is what is consistantly happening.
Spew for a day or two, then drop off the radar for a short time -
spew for a couple days, then drop off the radar for a little while.

Of course, the computer should have been cut off at first notice and by now the account dropped completely. This customer should not be allowed to own a computer.

Comcast . . . with their four months knowledge of this IP's constant spamming and their inaction in terminating this customer's account, has crossed the line from incompetence into the realm of outright spam support. |

And that is a real bummer.. If this person is a Zombie.. (for some reason I don't think so..) then they should have been shutdown immediately.. and if a business customer.. then, even quicker!!!

You're starting to suspect Pink Contract, right?
The evidence is certainly there to show continued spamming from this IP with no action from Comcast to terminate. We have no other recourse but to question why.
Comcast's history regarding spam certainly leads us to suspect that distinct possibility.
