I've never heard of such a thing. Port blocking has some very legitimate uses. Such a law would serious screw things up. Source?
I seem to remember Comcast getting their hand slapped for masquerading as customers PC on p2p networking, but nothing like that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Barnes Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Comcast Issue According to the FCC hearings that took place in Philadelphia, it is illegal for any provider to block any port when they provide internet access. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SJ.Stanaitis Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 12:23 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Comcast Issue Business connection?

Comcast swore it wasn't them but I tested everything from the desktop PCs to the router and found that mail made it to Comcast but never made it to us. One day, after a month or so, the problem went away. Moral of the story: Comcast can do a lot of weird stuff without even knowing that they are doing it. It is quite possible that they are blocking your client's messages with attachments and they don't even realize it.
