FYI, Comcast just resells a 'white label' service from AT&T / SBC, and there is indeed a group at AT&T 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.
