Our filters have determined that email from your email server has been sent in patterns which are characteristic of spam. In an effort to protect subscribers, your email server has been blocked from sending email to the Comcast network. Mail servers are typically shared by many users so it may be the case that another party using your email server has sent spam, even if you have not.

DM000001 :: Mail to Comcast is rejected and is returned with an error message containing the code DM000001. What does this mean?

ES000001 :: Mail to Comcast is rejected and is returned with an error message containing the code ES000001. What does this mean?
You have been blocked from sending to the Comcast network because we have determined that you are sending email from a dynamic/residential IP address within the Comcast domain. Comcast does not allow subscribers to send email from email servers other than smtp.comcast.net.
I don't believe my email is originating from a dynamic/residential source.
Your IP space is designated for residential Comcast service. You can send or receive email through the Comcast email servers by using our webmail application or by configuring your email client to connect properly. If you need to run your own email server, please contact our Commercial Services organization at support_biz@cable.comcast.com.
How do I get my IP removed from the blacklist?
Since you are connecting through Comcast residential IP space, this restriction cannot be lifted at this time. Please see the above instructions on "how to" options to send email without lifting this block.
ES000010 :: Mail to Comcast is rejected and is returned with an error message containing the code ES000010. What does this mean?
You have been blocked from sending to the Comcast network because we have determined that you are sending email from dynamic/residential IP space. Comcast does not allow residential / dynamic IP addresses to directly connect to our email servers. In most cases, Comcast will classify your email server's IP address as dynamic if the reverse DNS does not comply with standard static naming conventions.
How do I get my IP removed from the blocklist?
It is important that you ask your email provider to review the settings of your email server to ensure it is set up correctly so that it is not blocked by Comcast in the future. When contacting your email administrator, you should include the error message contained in the email which alerted you to this problem. This error message contains important information to help your email administrator resolve this issue.

RL000001 :: Mail to Comcast is queued and I see RL000001 in my email logs. What does this mean?
Comcast has instituted rate limiting on all inbound email traffic. This step was taken to protect our customers and our email system from unwanted spam and malicious attacks. Any systems affected by this rate limit will receive a 4xx message (temp-fail) during the SMTP transaction. This message is designed to instruct the sending server to try again at a later time to deliver its email.
Our rate limiting policy is based on sender reputation, provided by SenderScore as well as authentication of the sending server, regardless of the number of domains from that server.
| Recipients per Hour | SenderScore* |
|---|---|
| 120 | N/A |
| 1,200 | 0 - 15 |
| 3,600 | 16 - 25 |
| 6,000 | 26 - 30 |
| 12,000 | 31 - 50 |
| 24,000 | 51 - 70 |
| 42,000 | 71 - 85 |
| 60,000 | 86 - 100 |
| *Subject to successful authentication | |
If the rate-limit is impacting your ability to deliver email, shortening your server's delivery retry interval should resolve the issue.
If you require additional assistance, please contact Customer Security Assurance at 888-565-4329.
RL000002 :: Mail to Comcast is queued and I see RL000002 in my email logs. What does this mean?
Comcast has instituted rate limiting on all inbound email traffic. This step was taken to protect our customers and our email system from unwanted spam and malicious attacks. Any systems affected by this rate limit will receive a 4xx message (temp-fail) during the SMTP transaction. This message is designed to instruct the sending server to try again at a later time to deliver its email.
Our rate limiting policy is based on sender reputation and volume metrics, provided by Cloudmark, regardless of the number of domains from that server.
New IP addresses that are expected to send significant amounts of email to Comcast subscribers should start by sending low volumes of mail, increasing as time goes on. As your IP sends more email, its limit will increase daily.
If the rate-limit is impacting your ability to deliver email, shortening your server's delivery retry interval should resolve the issue.
If you require additional assistance, please contact Customer Security Assurance at 888-565-4329.
RL000003 :: Mail to Comcast is queued and I see RL000003 in my email logs. What does this mean?
Comcast has instituted rate limiting on all inbound email traffic. This step was taken to protect our customers and our email system from unwanted spam and malicious attacks. Any systems affected by this rate limit will receive a 4xx message (temp-fail) during the SMTP transaction. This message is designed to instruct the sending server to try again at a later time to deliver its email.
This rate limiting policy is based on historical volumes and quality of that volume. The limits applied are independent of the number of domains originating from a given IP. This policy should apply to both IPv4 and IPv6.
New IP addresses that are expected to send significant amounts of email to Comcast subscribers should start by sending low volumes of mail, increasing as time goes on. As your IP sends more email, its limit will increase daily.
If the rate-limit is impacting your ability to deliver email, shortening your server's delivery retry interval should resolve the issue.
