I've reported the issue several times to Comcast but have gotten nowhere. It's outrageous (and eventually dangerous) that this can happen -talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater -this is the spanish inquisition of the 21st century. Comcast says my IP is not being blocked, so I don't know what else I can do...any suggestions?

Quarterly send an opt in email to your subscriber list. Dont send email to those who dont renew. If someone misses their newsletter they can re-subscribe. This eliminates receivers complaining that your newsletter is spam and you dont get blocked. Remember that more than 90% of all email traffic at this time is spam, so ISP's are rather active on acting on a spam complaint more than a "But Im not SPAM" complaint.

Some people like to receive an email with the news headline and a short synopsis of each news item. We offer this upon registration on the site. Its totally optional. Matter of fact registration on our site is optional altogether, our full content is available regardless of registration. So I'm not sure I follow?

Oh, not enuff add revenue that way, rather fill up ISP storage to get to the 3 people who actually buy something. If you had to pay $1 delivery charge to ensure delivery to the inbox would you?
