As to Comcast, it's a multitude of Windows users on high-speed connections, many of them running infected machines that are broadcasting viruses and spam. If you have your own mailserver, most of this can be rejected by using greylisting or by rejecting mail from dynamic Comcast IP addresses, while still allowing mail coming from Comcast's mail servers. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
