What isn't mentioned in the BBR article but is mentioned in the Comcast forum and a CNet article, is that Comcast plans on targeting the blocks toward subscribers that are sending out spam, rather than foisting the blocks on everyone.
How does Comcast's proposed implementation only target subscribers sending out spam? I need to use my employer's SMTP server (Comcast's SMTP server has too many limits on outbound mail plus it's much lower reliability, has long latency, etc.) So would I still be able to use my employer's SMTP server? How would Comcast differentiate?
There was an article somewhere (I can't remember the link, but it was on C-NET), that said they can go into the customer's modem and block the port there once a known spam machine is identified. |
