I got the same nastygram several months ago claiming I was sending
spam, when I'm fairly certain I wasn't.  They claimed my computer
might be infected with a virus and that I should download their free
anti-virus software.  Since my wife is on Windows, I didn't discount
the possibility that her system was infected, and attempted to follow
their directions.

To make a long story short, their anti-virus software required me to
re-install my wife's system...  She never had a problem until I
installed that anti-virus package from Comcast...

I've sadly needed to use port 587 ever since :(
