Does anyone know if there are specific IP ranges associated with Comcast@Home? We have several hundred SR users in the US and I'm sure most of them ignore email from their ISP.. I'd like to run a report on our fw logs to get users names that may be impacted by this new policy. -Gary |--------+-----------------------> | | Michael | | | Doleman | | | <MDoleman@hcd| | | .ca.gov> | | | | | | 08/15/2000 | | | 04:40 PM | | | | |--------+-----------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: (bcc: Gary Cunninghame) | | Subject: RE: [FW1] @Home ban of VPN's | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| I contacted @Home this afternoon--I had been scheduled for installation this week.
