Comcast changes

I updated the Wiki a few weeks ago when I heard, but don’t think I posted anything here. Comcast has changed their delisting form page to http://postmaster.comcast.net/block-removal-request.html. The old form is currently non-functional. You can fill it in, but it’s unconnected to anything on the back end and it won’t result in an IP being delisted from the various Comcast blocklists.
My understanding is that the old form may come back to life at some point, but it’s much safer to use the new form and the new Comcast Postmaster Site.

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.
