I'm being blacklisted again by Comcast, my ISP. My domain name, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is registered with Dreamhost. My incoming mail goes first to Dreamhost from where it is then forwarded to Comcast. I normally use Emailer for all my mail, but Comcast periodically blocks mail from Dreamhost so I don't receive it (though I can get it on the Dreamhost website where there's a very inefficient mail system compared to Emailer.
After my mail was again blacklisted I asked Dreamhost for help and got this reply: >> > I strongly recommend that you set your mail to forward to a non-Comcast > address. Comcast has automated blacklists and removal steps and will not > provide us with a human response. I have sent them over a dozen emails in > the last couple months asking for them to give us some kind of indication > why these blocks are happening, to provide us with spam complaints - > ANYTHING - and all we ever get are automated replies. > > Quite frankly, their behavior demonstrates one thing: Comcast does not > care whether or not you get your mail.

Thanks in advance.
