Sorry about this guys.  I'm not sure who needs to address this... probably
someone at contesting.com.  It's happened before, and it happens (I think)
to all Comcast customers.  The messages we send out get to the reflector, no
problem, but everything coming the other way gets blocked.  No problems with
other e-mail, just stuff coming from TT (and possibly other contesting.com
reflectors... don't know about that, TT is the only one I subscribe to).  It
may be getting hit by an overly zealous spam filter (just a guess)?

If anyone can figure this out I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks & 73 - JC, K0HPS'


I had the same problem on an SMTP server in my system with both Comcast and
AOL.  Whoever needs to address this, my suggestion is that the reflector's
SMTP server is not passing the reverse DNS lookup test properly according to
Comcast's standards.  These big IP providers are getting very picky about
accepting email from servers that are not identifying themselves properly.
I would go so far as to have a good SPF record in the DNS entry as well.
