Changes at Comcast Postmaster

Two changes at the Comcast Postmaster page that I think are worthy of mentioning.

  1. They have set up a RSS feed for updates and changes. Visit http://postmaster.comcast.net/ and click on the RSS feed link in the right hand column.
  2. They have implemented changes in their unblocking script at http://www.comcastsupport.com/rbl.

This form will only assist in unblocking if the error you received contains the error code BL000000. For all other blocks, please follow the link contained within the error for more information. […] Please note that Comcast does limit the number of requests that can be made through the online form. We will not accept the same IP to be requested more than 5 times per day or for a requester to enter more than 20 IPs per day.

No more hammering hundreds of IPs into the forms to avoid blocks at Comcast. Sorry Spammers.

e360 v. Comcast: part 3

A couple weeks ago I posted about e360 suing Comcast. The short version is that e360 filed suit against Comcast to force Comcast to accept e360’s email. Comcast responded with a motion for judgment on the proceedings. This motion asked the judge to rule on e360’s case without going through the process of discovery or depositions or all the normal wrangling associated with a legal case. Comcast appears to be saying to the judge even if everything e360 alleges is true, we have done nothing wrong.
The judge asked for each party to prepare full briefs on the motion. e360’s response is due tomorrow and the Comcast reply to that is due on March 27.
Comcast does not appear to be content with just having the case dismissed. Today they filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint. The counterclaim is against e360, the third-party complaint incorporates David Linhardt, Maverick Direct Marketing, Bargain Depot Enterprises, Northshore Hosting, Ravina Hosting, Northgate Internet Services and John Does 1-50. Docs are up over on SpamSuite.
Comcast states the nature of the action in 4 short paragraphs.
