One of our customers is having a problem with bounced e-mail messages
when sending to *some* domains (Clear Channel and Comcast are the two
most important ones). I have checked most of the blacklists and our
server IP (12.184.45.102) does not appear on any of them.
Here's what one of the bounces from Comcast says:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at greenesthost.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Reading the first sentence of the first paragraph of the link provided
is not encouraging:
"Our filters have determined that email from your mail server has been
sent in patterns which are characteristic of spam."
Mailing lists tend to send e-mail out in patterns do they not? Also some
people have subscription-type services on their web sites and they send
out newsletters and other types of e-mails on a regular basis (this
particular client does this), which seems to fall into the definition
given above.
Anyone had similar problems with Comcast or other domains/ISPs/hosts?
What did you do to solve it?
TIA,
PGA
