[NMLUG] Another nail in the Comcast coffin?

I agree for the most part, but their SMTP server should be specifically 
exempt from this list! Otherwise, *all* email from Comcast customers, even 
those using Comcast's legit SMTP server, will be flagged as spam!

IE, my complaint was that "smtp.comcast.net" shouldn't be rbl'd, but it is!
