Why the FCC?  Comcast has a right to refuse contact from anyone; it's not a
common carrier.  If they do this indiscriminantly, people will leave: they
need to be careful.  It is possible that someone did use a Speakeasy mail
server for abusive activities; if this is so, the liklihood is that the
server is on a blacklist and is refused by more than Comcast.  Speakeasy
should be able to contact the maintainer of the blacklist once they've
cleaned up the problem.
