ARRL.NET Traffic Blocked by Comcast
NEWINGTON, CT, Jul 3, 2003--League members with
Comcast.net Internet service are currently having their arrl.net e-mail
forwarding service blocked by Comcast. As a result of Comcast's recent
acquisition of AT&T Broadband, those with attbi.com e-mail addresses may
also be affected. Approximately 5100 League members who are Comcast and AT&T Broadband customers are affected.
"At this point, we have not been able to reach
representatives of Comcast directly," said ARRL Chief Financial Officer Barry
Shelley, N1VXY. "This situation is, in part, their solution to the
Internet-wide problem of spam. The ARRL, through the vendor for the arrl.net
server, is currently working to resolve this matter, but an immediate solution
does not appear to be imminent. Until the matter is resolved, the League cannot
deliver e-mail through the arrl.net server to users of the Comcast e-mail
services."
Last autumn, e-mail servers at Hotmail.com, MSN.com and
Juno.com also temporarily blocked arrl.net forwarded e-mails for a few days.
Shelley said that given past experience, large ISPs are more likely to respond
to their customers. As this situation is a result of a decision by Comcast,
ARRL urges its affected members to contact Comcast directly via e-mail at abuse@comcast.net. Comcast requests that
members include their Comcast user name in the body of the message. Explain
that you do not want your arrl.net forwarded e-mail to be blocked.
"ARRL apologizes for the inconvenience created by Comcast's
decision and will keep you apprised of progress in the matter," Shelley said.
