As I wrote in my weblog a few weeks ago,
  http://daniel.ashtonfam.org/weblog/2006/08/online-gripes.html
Comcast has been blacklisting without concern for several months now.
I'm an individual running a domain as a gift to my family.  I don't have
the resources to maintain our own mail server, so we use our domain
provider (EasyDNS.com) to forward our e-mail to other mailboxes, such as
Comcast or Gmail.  Comcast has been completely unresponsive to any
requests to truly correct this situation.  Like the WELL, EasyDNS has
made numerous attempts to find a human at Comcast who can implement a
change in their blacklisting policy, and have had little success so far.
