Comcast is perhaps the largest broadband internet service provider in the U.S. They are very proactive in screening out spam, but not very sophisticated about it, which means that Comcast customers will receive "bounce" messages falsely identifying a valid address as undeliverable, and mailers will receive bounce messages identifying valid @comcast.net addresses (such as yours!) as undeliverable. In other cases, delivery of messages is delayed by several hours. This comes about when a spammer uses a smaller isp or a website host to send his junk, and Comcast then identifies ALL customers of that isp or host as bad actors. This happens regularly, year after year with one provider after another. Comcast's security people are aware that this happens and don't care, but they will look into individual cases when reported at 888-565-4329. Calling their service center is a waste of time, as their techs are not made aware of this problem. Comcast seems to be engaged in an ongoing battle with msn.com as these addresses are the most frequent victims of this shoddy blocking practice, although smaller isp's in southern Europe seem to fall victim quite often as well.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
