At long last I am starting to get email through to Comcast.net addresses. I was blocked in a non-transparent way...I never new it was happening! I am not the only one so affected, the Internet is replete with stories of same on one forum after another.
Today I learned on a Forum on Comcast.com that one good way to get blocked is to do as I did...INCLUDE A WEBSITE OR TWO IN YOUR SIGNATURE! I thought that it was good low-level advertising. Advertising, you say, well Spam Blockers look for that kind of stuff being sent on innocent emails. I suppose a signature can have reference to a company without including the website. On informant sent out about 300 emails one day in a block with a website in signature and only about half got through before the Spam Blocker sensed a scam and blocked the last half. Sender, like me, never knew it happened until a few people mentioned that they had not received the mail.
So, clean up that signature and Comcast, perhaps several other servers, will treat you with kindness once again. Remember, too, that POP uses Port 995 and SMTP uses 587 or 465.
I hope that others more adept at this tuff than I will chime in with further wisdom!!!
