Comcast Blocking Nuestros Ranchos as SPAM


By Stuart Armstrong - Posted on 27 August 2006

Hello Arturo,

I have tried to contact (via email) comcast, but their response is
that they think there is an on-going spam issue ...

I have not received any email from Nuestros Rachos since the date of
your post below, and so I expect I will not receive any reply.

This really ticks me off. I got comcast partly because a previous
provider would not allow me to _send_ any email because they thought
mine was a spam address. The problem was my hard-wired verizon card ip
address was within a range some one else was using for spam, and there
was nothing I could do about it. They refused to do anything either
because they hired their spam blocking from another service and _they_
didn't want to help. The only other solution was to get another ip
address, which Nuestros Ranchos may be able to do quite easily since
it's probably software controllable. I hope this gets resolved because
I'm not getting any mail from Nuestros Ranchos.

I will call Comcast monday and try to voice my complaint to a live
person. But I'm not expecting much help. The same spam blocking
service is used by MANY providers in an attempt to control spam.
