|  Comcast - keep up the good work; The Well - drop dead
Comcast has been doing a great job lately getting rid of SPAM. And if "The Well" is a source of SPAM, then too bad if they get blocked. The fact that they have influential members means nothing to me. Let "The Well" clean up its system if they want off the list.
Blacklists aren't always a good thing, but so far it appears that it is the only thing cutting back on SPAM until the industry can agree on better ways to do it.

Re: Comcast - keep up the good work; The Well - drop dead
Comcast did a GREAT job of blocking my forwarded email from the IEEE. The IEEE does not generate email, it simply provides an "email-for-life" forwarding address. Comcast decided to block all IEEE email from being forwarded to my account - this was ever so helpful.
Actually, I think they are a bunch of morons running this at times. Again, this was not a case of having email generated by the IEEE - just email that was forwarded through their servers. |

The issue with forwarding is that people tell Comcast "this is spam" via some button in their email interface. Because it was forwarded, Comcast thinks that the IEEE is a spammer. A pile of Comcast people get spam VIA their IEEE address, click the "this is spam" button and away the IEEE goes to a blacklist.
Forwarding just breaks these kind of user interaction blacklist concepts.

| Forwarding does not break intelligent blacklist concepts. The originating sender is discernable from the email headers, as is the last-hop forwarder. Comcast (and AOL for that matter) do not choose to put any effort into making the distinction. I know it's cost them customers 'round here. |
