email spam
Hello, I recently came across a post by
Mikwaz titled "Blanketed with email spam"
To which I posted a reply. I am re-posting my reply here to highlight the belief that Comcast doing a lack luster job blocking spam and the solution that I came up with in the vacuum of help from Comcast / xfinity. BTW the solution works however it would be much better and a whole lot less cumbersome for the problem to be handled on the Comcast / xfinity side. The conspiracy side of me thinks that Comcast wants to dump their Comcast / xfinity email service.
Here's my reply to Mikwaz:
"After several months and several pages of email filters; they [the filters] seem to be intermittent at best however; ultimately they don't work as advertised and [now] essentially my Comcast email is nothing more than a forwarder "bot" for my Hostgater account [only for the elimination of spam]. What I am trying now is to forward all emails to my Hostgater account which has a robust tool set of filters and rules. So far this is the only way I can get a handle on SPAM in my Comcast email.
Also, Comcast does not seem to be blocking "black listed" or known spam sites like this one: vlan101.bl2-x3hl-xcg-2-01.ntwk.msn.net"
Since the update, I have tested this approach and it works really well.

And xfinity staff is actively removing my detailed posts providing image examples of how the spam works, and how their spam prevention tools are plainly not working. Had several posts removed just today that I put a lot of effort into. Nothing says problem solved like censoring those complaining instead of solving the actual problem.
