CBL actually runs hot and cold on this. I guess it depends on who you
get over there. If you follow through their web site you will come to a
place where it says something to the fact that if you are running and
IMail server (or a few others) contact us to get permanently
whitelisted. I know others here have gotten mixed results with this
butit might be worth a try.

Hi, all-
For those who have been following the Comcast threads, I had Comcast
blocking me also. I met up with a couple of very helpful and courteous
people there. The tech support person who called me back was willing
to learn about the problem, and when I explained about IMail's - what
do you call it? - domain spoofing? - and that it was normal behavior,
the fellow whitelisted me permanently without further effort on my part.
This is the same problem that eventually lists most, if not all, all
IMail servers on the CBL - IMail says it's
mail.whatever_domain_is_trying_to_send.com, and they object to lots of
FQDNs from the same IP.
Because they treated me fair and square, and handled the problem
expeditiously, I am providing the contact method only to those who
experience the problem. I don't want to swamp a good contact with
calls and have him become unavailable.
I am thinking about is compiling a list of IMail IPs to send him. If
there is any interest in this, I'd be happy to be the conduit. Don't
post your IP's here, folks, bugt do let me know if you're interested.
If there's enough interest, I will contact him directly and see
whether Comcast is willing to get a large whitelist from me. If so, I
will create a web page where you can submit your IPs, and I will set
up a verification mechanism to assure that we don't allow spammers to
post their IPs on that page also.
Unfortunately, even if we do this for Comcast, the CBL folks are
categorically not interested in whitelisting IMail servers
preemptively. Therefore, you WILL lose traffic to those guys, as I did.
