It was rhetorical, to the extent that I did not expect a good 
technical answer from a first level.  I wanted to check what the 
official statement was no SPAM filtering.

The only tool that the guy suggested is getting into webmail and 
marking those e-mails as SPAM, which their system may or may not do 
something about.

Can you elaborate on how a guy (spammer) manages to place a Rolex 
SPAM in my mail box, without having my address visible.  Does he 
actually have my address and disguise it, or is the same SPAM going 
into ALL Comcast e-mail boxes?

To be honest, I'm not flooded with SPAM.  Get maybe 10 (currently 
Rolex and some Viagra) spams a day.  Some friends are doing a lot 
worse with quite explicit sex adds.
