I see their point on this one.  Comcast services one of the country's
largest collections of spam zombies.

What they *should* do is RDNS all nodes on their network to
something.comcast.net, and use SPF to flag any email from any
non-business customer node as "not allowed to send for this domain."

But I don't know that much about SMTP, DNS and SPF.
