Sorry, Kathy, I misunderstood since I've never heard of companies
actually blocking their customers. Guess I learn about business
something every day.

Kathy is correct - Comcast is blocking mail FROM my servers as spam,
so it doesn't get to the intended Comcast recipient.

I don't know if AOL still does it, but they've been notorious for it
in the past. At one time, I had a pacbell ISP account and for no
apparent reason, AOL decided to block all incoming mail from pacbell.

When these companies do this, you may not even know it - they don't
announce it, they don't give you a choice to say for yourself whether
or not it's spam, they just block it.

My host has a quarantine folder - you can go and look and see if stuff
is there and release it from quarantine. I rarely find anything there
that isn't spam.
