My friend uses Comcast.  They block her friend's IP.  We can read the 
bounces, we've filed reports w/ Comcast.  They unblock the IP for 
perhaps 2 hours and then block it again.

I'm suggesting she try gmail.  But we do not know if gmail is equally 
aggressive (or equally lame) in how they block IPs, or simply filter 
spam.  So I'm looking for feedback.
Thanks
