Non Delivery Report

I've been getting several "Non Delivery" emails in the past few days, at least four every few minutes, regarding a phishing email I forwarded to Comcast's "Abuse" email address on 5/28/2026 at 6:15 AM. When I forwarded this email I got from some hotmail address claiming to be someone from Xfinity, with "XFINlTY" in the mail text. Do the Comcast Customer Security Assurance Team members no longer accept reports of phishing email at this address? 😕

When reporting spam emails, it is critical that you send us the email headers. Please do not forward the spam email. Forwarding the email will remove the original headers.

This is probably why you're getting the "Non Delivery" emails.

@Again​ If the email is forwarded as an attachment, which is what I usually do, rather than put into the body of the text, I'm sure the headers are preserved. If I paste the email I'm forwarding in the body of the text, I'm not sure how to copy headers.

In webmail, open an email and then click on the three lines next to the print icon.  Click on View source.  A box will pop up and you'll see the headers.  Copy those into the email you're sending to abuse.

The error seems to be one of those 451-451 4.2.0 (followed by letters and numbers) "Policy Violation, please try again later." errors. I have a feeling it has to do with the SMTP server. Do I need to, (gulp) switch Internet Service Providers?
