[ATMoB-discuss] comcast is blocking the lists again

[Tinkler, James B (CSC) (US SSA)]

Not to belabor the point but even if all club members were on Comcast
and we all complained, 300 or so users out of hundreds of thousands
nation wide would not be noticed...this is more of a monitor and fix
situation when it happens.

There are obviously many alternate email systems available.  If anyone
is interested in Google's gmail, just let me know.  I have lots of
invites available.

Just this morning, Comcast bounced an e-mail message that I sent to
a friend.  Here are Comcast's instructions for getting off their
blacklist.  I think this means your fan mail needs to tell Comcast
the address of the SMTP server at ATMOB's internet service provider?
Or maybe it is the IP quoted in their message, as in 217.160.230.41?
My ISP happens to have an address block at 217.160, but they could
have hundreds of mail servers, so I don't see how picking one of them
would help Comcast.

  SMTP error from remote server after MAIL command:
  host gateway-a.comcast.net[63.240.76.26]:
  550-217.160.230.41 blocked by ldap:ou=rblmx,dc=comcast,dc=net
  550 Blocked for abuse. Please send blacklist removal requests to
blacklist_comcastnet at cable.comcast.com - Be sure to include your mail
server IP ADDRESS.
