comcast as an isp reporting problems

[littlepeaks]

I have Comcast as my ISP.  Almost every email I receive shows the originating ISP as Comcast.  This is not correct.  I tried letting Spamcop parse legitimate messages originating from other ISP networks, and it still wants to report them to Comcast as the originator.  I always deselect Comcast in reports.  Any help?

BTW. I use SeaMonkey for email.

Sounds like you might need to have mailhosts setup.

mailhosts is to prevent all of your local servers (which forward email from one to the other) from being listed in the reports.

Thanks for the info -- I briefly read it, and I'm a little bit confused about multiple accounts.  I recently also acquired another email account hosted by GoDaddy insteaed of Comcast.  I download those messages directly from GoDaddy using Outlook, instead of SeaMonkey.  I have not yet tried reporting spam from the GoDaddy account.  So is this a fly in the ointment?

Well, I did the mailhosts setup, as instructed for my Comcast account, and it seems to have worked.  I tried to report a spam before doing it, and it said it was attributable to Comcast.  After I did the mailhosts setup, it reported it to some domain in Denmark.  If I decide to also report for the GoDaddy account, I will add that before I do something I don't want to do.

Thanks.

Wonder if the mailhosts set up still working until now.
