Re: Comcast - keep up the good work; The Well - drop dead
Comcast did a GREAT job of blocking my forwarded email from the IEEE. The IEEE does not generate email, it simply provides an "email-for-life" forwarding address. Comcast decided to block all IEEE email from being forwarded to my account - this was ever so helpful.
Actually, I think they are a bunch of morons running this at times. Again, this was not a case of having email generated by the IEEE - just email that was forwarded through their servers. |

The issue with forwarding is that people tell Comcast "this is spam" via some button in their email interface. Because it was forwarded, Comcast thinks that the IEEE is a spammer. A pile of Comcast people get spam VIA their IEEE address, click the "this is spam" button and away the IEEE goes to a blacklist.
Forwarding just breaks these kind of user interaction blacklist concepts.

| Forwarding does not break intelligent blacklist concepts. The originating sender is discernable from the email headers, as is the last-hop forwarder. Comcast (and AOL for that matter) do not choose to put any effort into making the distinction. I know it's cost them customers 'round here. |
