I am also being blocked (not by Comcast) but by UCEPROTECTL2 blacklist
My email with comcast.net is working fine. But for some reason UCEPROTECT has decided to block all (at least every address I've tested) the entire 50.128.0.0/9 subnet, which unfortunately includes my little /28 subnet. I've contacted, as best I can, UCEPROTECTL2 and their only offerring is for me to send them about $25 a month to be removed from the list (less per month if I go 1 or 2 year plans.) It's a protection racket!
The information they report about my block (which EXPLICITELY states that it wasn't *MY* address causing the blacklist) is that there are only a few thousand instances that triggered the block (in an IP block with a little over 8 milliion IP addresses.)
I've contacted some helpful *real* people at Comcast, and they are working on the issue, but was wondering if anyone here has resolved this issue without paying the blackmail to UCEPROTECT.

@aerodesic We appreciate the information, but I would also recommend to reach out to UCEPROTECT to see if they will unblock from their end since they are the ones that did it. My team is here if you should need any further assistance.

This was not resolved. Click "View other replies" under the last post. The OP probably has moved on from Comcast by now because email delivery is important.

I'm seeing this currently. UCEPROTECTL2 lists all of the enclosing Comcast net block. Their entire offering is an extortion/protection scam and they will not budge. They say that the onus lies on Comcast to prevent spam from leaving the net block.
I don't see how this is resolvable for us as individual customers. There will always be customers of Comcast that run old insecure software and get hacked. I've had this same static IP range for well over a decade.
Perhaps Comcast Business should have a validation program that allows customers that are demonstrating competency to be in a different static IP range that is actively kept off of blocklists like this.
Or maybe the FCC should demand that broadband monopolies not be possible.
