Comcast utilizes an RBL supplied by Vade, as the URL indicated.  This has been 
remediated as of early this morning, and it was noted that it wasn’t a single 
IP in the /24 that was to blame (I don’t have more information than that 
currently).

Thanks Alex.

This looks to be working now.

Was this being blocked by Comcast or by Vade?

Unfortunately I don't have services or access to the whole /24.  Tis a shame 
that an entire Class-C had to be blocked.

Scott,

It looks like the /24 is blocked, and I’ll see if I can find out why (I’ll 
reply off-list with that info).  In the meantime, we’ll put in an exemption for 
the range.  That should be in place shortly.

Got the response:


Hello,

Thank you for your report.
It has been taken into account in our continuous improvement processus. We will 
get back to you if necessary.
Please note that the analysis may take a few days and your situation might 
improve in the meantime.
We advise you to keep an eye on your performance.

Regards

Your Anti-Abuse Vade team.



And it's still blocked.

Apologies because I'm probably not in the right state of mind right now.  This 
is kind of a tipping point for me right now.  Just really frustrated at 
providers like this that feel they can hold us hostage simply because we're not 
Microsoft, or Yahoo, or Google.

I mean, if the IP is really sending out spam (why is it not on any other 
blacklist?) then I want to know.  I want to remedy the situation.  But to block 
an IP for no reason.  To refuse to unblock an IP for no reason.  ... Why is a 
reputable company like Comcast (?) going to bed with such an entity?
