Damn, looks like mine is blocked too.  *sigh*  I run a mail server so I
don't have to worry about comcast's incoming email limits on attachments,
mailbox size, etc.  Or comcast outages.

Run the mail server on a different port & redirect.  *sigh*
There are some services that will do this.  i'm looking them up right now.
