spam filtering legitimate emails

My personal Comcast email address will not accept legitimate emails into my inbox.  All emails go to spam folder.  Despite my having indicated that they are "not spam".  Also despite my adding the specific sender address to address book.  Nothing fixes this except completely turning off spam filtering.  The problem is with all emails from any sender at a particular .gov entity.  It also happens with every Comcast address that any of those .gov senders email to.  Clearly a Comcast problem, not recognizing the legitimacy of the sender.  I have spent hours trying to get answers from Comcast.  Twice I finally got through to a live agent who promised to escalate the problem to a "back end" team and that I would very soon get a call back.  Never happened, twice.  But I did get follow-up questionnaires about my service experience (one in Spanish, with no reason)!  Despite describing the experience as awful, I still get no help. Any suggestions?  In the meantime, I am considering having my Town change internet provider from Comcast, when the contract is up for renewal.  Thanks.

Hello @user_66hyvr Thank you for sharing this, receiving email communication is a very important thing. This is absolutely not the experience we want for you, especially when important messages from a .gov sender are being incorrectly routed to spam. I understand how disruptive this has been, and I appreciate the time you’ve already spent trying to resolve it. I'd like to do an account review to identify what the cause is,  Please send us a direct chat message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”. To do so, click on the chat icon located at the top right of this forum's page.

Here are the detailed steps to direct message us:

• Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "Direct Message” icon (upper right corner of this page)

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "to" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send your message

for the record (and to share frustrations with other users of this forum) I followed the Comcast employees advice to take the matter to DM rather than discuss on the forum.  After a lengthy re-explaining the problem to them, they were totally unresponsive and unhelpful.  This is all about the problem many users have experienced and reported for over 5 years, regarding legitimate emails being sent to spam folder even after marking the "not spam" and adding sender to address book.  Comcast did succeed in moving my complaint off the forum though, so it could disregarded privately lol.  I did receive a followup survey (in Spanish, which I do not speak!) asking if their service was good and the problem resolved.  I did reply, and that led to another dead-end.  I wish our Town had an alternative to Comcast.  Maybe next municipal contract.

Thank you for reaching out to us directly, @user_66hyvr. It looks like we responded to you initially, but the connection timed out after a few days of inactivity. We tried messaging you again this morning, after you reconnected with us, but it sounds like you may not have received that message either. Please feel free to send us another direct message if you are able to do so. I would like to see if we can get to the bottom of this email issue.

I am not "user_66hyvr", though it is my post you are replying to.  Do you change users' names?  I did get your response on DM and replied there (and am awaiting a reply).  But I think it would be good if you could resolve the problem openly on the forum, where many others have asked for resolution to the same issue.

@user_66hyvr refers to your username on the Xfinity forums, and is how we tag you when posting a reply to a message. The reason that we would need to work with you over private message is because we may need to check information from your account or open a ticket, all of which we could not do in the public space. We would be happy to continue working on this issue via private message, however.
