Sorry, Matt!

... which seems to bear fruit.  I've received exactly 4 zombie spams from
the ComCast network since June 17, 2004, and my usual rate is tens to
hundreds per day from them.

Unfortunately, there's no indication that ComCast will take any further
action, due to the cost per incident to their Help Desk, so all of those
zombies will still be alive and well, just not sending spam directly from
the infected workstations.

Which in turn means that the worm will turn, and we can expect upgraded
versions of those zombies that will do something else.  I expect that they
will at least start using the ComCast smarthosts, so if you're whitelisting
the legit ComCast mailservers, look out!
