For those on the list with Comcast, you might not be able to receive any emails from the ISP eircom.net. It was explained to me that Comcast will not accept email from ISP's that do not have adequate filters to keep out viruses. I was not able to correspond with anyone who had an eircom address for over a year. Recently, one email did get through. Perhaps eircom has added more filters. In any case, if I want to correspond with anyone who has an eircom address, I give my hotmail address to them. That always works. Comcast also does not accept mail from optusnet.com (Australia). I share this information because sometimes people with an eircom address try to contact someone with a comcast address and do not realize their message did not get through. At least optusnet gives a warning. There might be some valuable family information that is lost because of this situation. Jan

Hi Jan Thanks for the warning. I think I've had the same problem over the past year. I'll try an alternate route.

hi Jan I've got a similar problem. Do you have a reference at COMCAST so I can beat the local office with this problem. Most of my missing Irish relatives are "eircom.net". So they probably haven't received anything from me either. I think I 'll try HOTMAIL.

I've had this problem too with someone in Scotland. The thing for them to do is to start a push to have their server upgrade the filtering on their end of the line. That way everyone will have better service. It's a win-win for everyone. Comcast is not the villain. I'm oh-so-glad that I have them! Cliff.
