Thanks! ^
Being retired and having time on my hands, I've just tried
jackal's option 2 ("Contact Comcast and request they fix the problem with their email service (good luck)").
Two phone calls later I was directed to the webmaster.comcast.net site, where I filled out a request form for "unblocking." The form seems designed more for a sender of blocked emails than the receiver, but there was at least a pulldown allowing me to identify myself as a Comcast subscriber. The IP address and official domain name
jackal supplied were very useful, at least in terms of completing the form.
That took close to an hour, and I think I'll now invest some time more productively in checking out some email alternatives, including GMail.
Update... At least the form reply was prompt:
Comcast.net Block Removal Response
Thank you for contacting Comcast Customer Security Assurance. We have received and reviewed your Block List removal request.
Blocklist Removal Response: After investigating the issue, we have found that the IP you provided for removal is currently not on our blocklist.
IP Address Submitted:
167.89.58.99
We need the IP address currently blocked to further investigate this issue. The IP address is a number separated by decimals and is located in an error code starting with "550" in the returned email from Comcast.
Update: I changed my FT email address to my Hotmail address and it's working like a charm for now as far as subscription notifications.
