Comcast spam filter does not work on spam but increasingly blocks legitimate e-mails.
I had this problem in August two or so years ago and then in February of this year and now it's back.
Comcast is flagging e-mails from [Edited: "Personal Information"] as spam, sending a spam report to MailChimp, and getting my address blacklisted.
When I went through this last time, support told me to add them as a "safe sender" which they already were (in fact they're the only e-mail in that list). Then support helpfully deleted all of my mail filter rules (without telling me of course) even though they weren't the problem either. I have the option checked to turn OFF automatic rejection and let mail hit my filter rules precisely because I don't trust Comcast not to do exactly what it's doing now. And I've NEVER manually flagged a BBTS e-mail as spam. There's no reason this should be happening.
It's ridiculous because the filter only kinda sorta works if it feels like it. My inbox is flooded with phishing e-mails from "Netflix" and "Apple" and "Harbor Freight" and a billion Microsoft Azure bots peddling everything from time shares and [Edited] to power tools and fake cPanel alerts. Sometimes even bank fraud scams from Nigerian princes get through! But a [Edited: "Language"] toy store that I have done business with for 25 years, THAT'S what this dopey system not only flags but kicks back? Seriously?
Is there anybody at Comcast that knows how their e-mail system works and might be able to stop this? I'm so tired of having to fight constantly just to get order and shipping notifications.

Is anybody at Comcast/XFinity actually working on the e-mail problem? All I've seen from them thus far is deleting posts about it because they feel sad.

Would like to sit down with a real Comcast engineer and get to the bottom of their horrible email issues.
