FYI, Comcast just resells a 'white label' service from ATT / SBC, and
there is indeed a group at ATT research south that monitors spam
activities.  Sometimes they have to decide between the customer who's
sending the spam and the customers who are receiving it, is all...

I recently interviewed for a job in that group.  Didn't get it, but I
learned a few things during the 4 hour interview.  I recommended they
look into SA, BTW.

While you can sell we block spam from your inbox to people as a reason to
pay you money, you can't sell we stop you from sending spam.

Unless you want to send spam to our own customers, then we'll block 
that, unless you pay us more for commercial service.  :)



Too bad outgress filtering isn't as cheap as running a blacklist with 
your own IPs in it.
