I had about 12 emails from/to comcast about them blocking outgoing emails determined to be spam. 
   They kept saying they do not block outgoing email.  On one of their last emails they had me 
go to Comcast Web Mail and submit the spam.  It was even blocked there.  They kept asking me to 
go to online chat to try to solve the problem.  In frustration I just gave up.  Another problem 
in dealing with Comcast  by email is that you do not get a service number so every email is 
handle by a different person.

It also made no difference if the spam was in the body of the email or as an attachment, it was 
still block.
