Comcast email servers BLACKLISTED
Our users are unable to email users that use Network Solutions servers for thier mail. (They do not reply and user does not recieve)
It looks like Comcast servers with the following ip's are blacklisted on LASHBACK :
76.96.107.71
76.96.107.72
76.96.107.73
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Sean and welcome,
I would first look at the exact email addresses that are blacklisted with Network Solutions and find out from Network Solutions why this is the case. The only time a company would blacklist a specific server is if there was any evidence through multiple email addresses that a virus, hacking, etc was being performed. So, check out Net Solutions as to why those email addresses are being blocked.
Hope this helps you out.

I've worked around this problem, by bringing up my own mail server for outgoing mail. To Date the above servers are still blacklisted.

When a system is blacklisted it has to be handled by the company that owns the server/IP.
The IP's I listed belong to Comcast and Comcast only. This is not an ip that we use specifically, but our mail does pass through it (I pulled them from a message header and found them listed). This will affect any company that is on Comcast Business and mail passes through these servers and the destination email server uses the LASHBACK blacklist. Comcast needs to work with the company that is blacklisting them as the problem could be directly with the server or any of the many comcast business customers. If it were mine I would have fixed it myself.
ips that are on the blacklist:
omta01.potomac.co.businessclass.comcast.net
76.96.107.71
omta02.potomac.co.businessclass.comcast.net
76.96.107.72
omta03.potomac.co.businessclass.comcast.net
76.96.107.73
Here's a helpful tool that show's they are blacklisted.

That link you provided is not a Comcast customer and has no affiliation with Comcast to the best of my knowledge.
However, If you have any issues with Comcast blacklist please use http://www.comcastsupport.com/rbl for assistance.

What are you talking about? The link I provide is a tool that allows you to check ip/domain names against multiple blacklist sites. I don't think you understand the fundamentals here. You should probably only attempt answer questions that you understand.
The link that you provided has nothing to do with Comcast email servers being blacklisted. Comcast is not blacklisting itself, it's being blacklisted.
Comcast is the administrator of the IP's I provided that are being blacklisted. They need to take care of it.
I was hoping that this would catch the attention of a Comcast Administrator and that they would understand the ramifications. I guess I was wrong.

It's still Blacklisted, I'm not sure why someone marked any of the above comments as a solution.

We are having problems receiving e-mails from a couple of our clients due to blacklisting of a couple of Comcast's mail servers:
Whose job is it at Comcast to:
For a company of Comcast's size, I'm a bit surprised this is even a problem...
