| This Isn't Good For Subscribers...
At least for Comcast subscribers that don't spam (like me).
I run an email server, but it is locked down and cannot be hijacked.
It's spammers that give Comcast ISP a bad name. With Comcast IP ranges being blacklisted, there is an increasing chance that legitimate email by non-spamming subscribers will not reach their destination.
It is unfortunate that blanket (extreme) remedies must be taken to combat this spam. Blacklisting entire ISP IP ranges is a bit harsh.
Are people really willing to risk blocking out a huge number of legitimate users just to combat a few spammers on an IP range? I'm sure there are a whole lot more legitimate users than spammers on Comcast.
Optimally, problems like this should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. |

This is the fix then. It will take 10 years to finally have an impact though. You want the new Longhorn OS? Fine, you must agree to auto updates or the OS will not work on a network. That will make sure the tiny built in firewall stays on and does something. But, with all the other OS versions floating around you can see how this will take years to put a dent in this mess.
