I think you will see less people caring about false
positives in terms of improperly configured mail servers. I hate
AOL but I love the fact they won't accept email from people without
PTR's. I wish more ISP's would take on this policy.

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.
