[ NNSquad ] Re: Comcast silently dumping e-mail containing particular URLs?

[Lauren Weinstein <lauren@vortex.com>]

A quickie update.  While reported empirical tests seemed quite clear
regarding the existence of this condition, it also now appears that
the problem, filter -- or whatever it was -- has now been
cleared/lifted, perhaps after public discussion on the NANOG list,
or perhaps just coincidentally. 

So this ceases being an active issue, though added info would of
course be welcome at any time.  Thanks.
