So now everyone starts discussing the Comcast problem? Check the archives
for the last two weeks for Comcast, particularly the messages from Dave
Doherty, who has had success in dealing with Comcast. My own experiences
have been mixed: Comcast fixed the problem then blacklisted us again, then
fixed it again. I'm waiting to see what happens this week.
With all due respect, I put this problem at the feet of Comcast, not
Ipswitch. Comcast made a really generic decision for blacklisting IPs, and
that's just bad mail administration. Think about it: most Imail admins who
fight spam (such as by using Declude) use a weighting system with multiple
tests. The purpose is to catch as much mail as possible while avoiding
false positives. Comcast clearly doesn't care about false positives.
While having the issue fixed in the next version of 2006 is nice, it won't
help all the others still running 8.x and 7.x. In fact, there is no way for
Ipswitch to fix the problem for even a majority of Imail installations, much
less all of them. The people we should be screaming at are over at Comcast.
I find this whole situation doubly ironic because of the large number of
zombies spewing spam and viruses and that already Comcast subscribers.

And that makes Imail worthless to many if they cant send email to one of
the largest broadband providers in the country.
I consider this a critical error that must be fixed asap.

No they blacklist the entire mail server's IP address and then nobody can
send email to a Comcast address. The tech said they had numerous people
with Imail servers that had the same problem, but Imail will not let you
do anything to counter the problem.
I think the mail people affected are those people that are web hosts, etc
that have virtual domains.

I guess they're doing this on a domain by domain basis? Because I've
seen
successful e-mails delivered to comcast.net as late as this morning.

Yes, this is obviously a BIG problem since we're talking about on of the
largest broadband providers in the US.

confabulated:
I just got off the phone with the abuse department at Comcast. I was told
that we were being blacklisted because of our HELO did not match or
something. He said that it was not configurable in Imail even in the
latest
version, and it was going to be used more aggressively with other ISP's.
Any
suggestions?
Ahhh... I'm not alone.
