Thou shalt not question Comcast

[Richard Chonak]

It figures.

Comcast blocked my outgoing SMTP traffic a few days ago and sent a 
notice to a comcast.net mail address I don't read, so I didn't find out 
until the outgoing messages started bouncing after five days.

The message claimed that their anti-spam system had supposedly detected 
spam from an infected system here -- not very likely, since I don't run 
Windows.   I called Comcast to question their claim that my system was a 
spam source, and the tech refused to back up the claim with any evidence.

An hour later, he called me back to say they had port-scanned my system 
and were warning me about a server on port 22 (!).   I haven't been 
harassed by a corporation before, but this sounds like it.
