Unfortunately it's not comcast that will eat the bounces.  In order to 
get broadband service (DSL is not offered), I have to use comcast.net (I 
don't know anything about comcast.com), and since people are so friendly 
about bulk blocking of anything they don't like, I already have one user 
list that I can neither unsubscribe from nor post to, since all mail is 
bounced.

comcast.net users have no control.  Fortunately, I'm not being blocked 
by any other group.  It seems to me that spam filters would be a more 
friendly approach, rather than assuming that all users on the domain are 
spam.
