Since this relates to the Elecraft reflector email, I guess it is
just barely on-toic, so:
I have had comcast for years and get almost all my mail directly
through my comcast email address and read it with Eudora. Only
problem I ever had was when comcast stopped passing along mail from a
HPSDR reflector to me, thinking it was spam. This was just for a
short time, and it was fixed.
Back then, if your ISP also hosted another guy who was sending out
spam, comcast might block legitimate email from you to me because of
the spammer. I hope they have refined their anti-spam techniques now,
but don't know for sure. People are coming to use their email as if
had all the qualities of the US postal service, and for any ISP to
stop delivering email arbitrarily can cause big problems.

Is it just mail to the comcast email addresses they block or do they
actually block traffic from other mail servers? Maybe someone in the
know could tell us. I use gmail through my Verizon ISP and it does
very nicely, with lots of features.

Maybe the problem is Yahoo and not comcast. It takes two to communicate and
the breakage could be on the Yahoo side in how it treats Comcast vs. gmail.
I subscribe to about ten yahoo groups and I can not get the emails from the
group. Actually I get maybe one in one-hundred posts.
I use EarthLink as my ISP.
