Re: Seems like a one man campaign on the Comcast forum

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.
