EMAIL SPAM FILTER
Xfinity's spam filter is pretty bad. It is constantly letting through spam messages, despite my settings. I also have filters to try to weed out the messages that the spam filter does not catch.
Question: Is there a way to filter out messages where I am bcc'd? Many of the spam messages I get list me on the BCC line.

Sure. The mere presence of a BCC line in a received email means either the sender or the sender's ISP is incompetent, or one or both of them are up to no good. No legitimate email should ever include a BCC line.
Consider a filter like:
Condition: Header Name BCC Exists
Action: Move to folder Spam

That looks fine. And I can't think of any way to test it except, as you say, wait to see if it catches a message with a BCC line.

I have turned off Comcast spam filters and use my desktop client, Thunderbird. Guess what? Comcast randomly puts legitimate email in the spam folder.Their only strong point is internet speed. Their email is a joke and I have been transitioning everything over to G mail, especially the important stuff. I also routinely get emails sent to my Comcast account 24 hours after they have been sent The most infuriating thing is when you call a live agent and you can tell even though they are speaking what they call english, they don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. Then just like that they restart your modem. Pretty much the same on live chat, except they get upset with you when they restart the modem and you get disconnected !!!
