said by TheGhost :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. 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.
