I ran a mailserver on Comcast for years. They didn't like outgoing mail from 
my server, but they didn't care about me getting mail.

Currently, I've escaped the shackles of Comcast for the, um, shackles of 
Verizon, and still receive e-mail to thewunders.org... (just can't run a 
webserver on port 80).
