--------------------------------------
Gentoo has never sent spam, nor are our mail servers configured to relay mail.  Please provide information on what you consider "spam" so that we may take the appropriate actions on our end.

Without actual logs and relevant information, there's nothing we can do to help you.

Thank you for contacting Comcast Customer Security Assurance. We have received 
and reviewed your RBL removal request.

Below each IP address you submitted in your request, we have included the result 
of our research. Please do not reply to this message.

*140.211.166.183*

The IP you previously provided has been removed from the Comcast.net blocklist.

Our filters have determined that email from the IP you submitted was blocked 
because it sent email to the Comcast domain with patterns characteristics of 
spam. Mail servers are typically shared by many users so it may be the case that 
another party using your mail server has sent spam, even if you have not. It is 
important that your email administrator is aware of their outbound spam problem 
to avoid being 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. Taking this step now will help avoid blocks in the 
future.

If you have a different IP addresses which you would like considered for removal 
from the Comcast blocklist, please submit your request to 
http://www.comcastsupport.com/rbl


Sincerely,
Comcast Customer Security Assurance
