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?

Annabelle2 We absolutely still accept phishing reports. 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.

  1. Select the message you wish to report as spam.
  2. Click the "Spam" button in the right-hand corner of the webmail console.

@XfinityTommy Here's a Non Delivery report that I just got. I forwarded it to the Comcast Customer Security Assurance email, abuse(at)comcast(dot)net, not as an attachment, but with the following inside the body of the email. Please tell me if this looks right to you.

@XfinityAngie​ The reason why I ask is because when I foward as an attachment, it seems to give me that Non Delivery report. And even now, when I forwarded the email by copying the source, headers included, into the body, still a non delivery report! 😕

Annabelle2, you can either use the link I shared with you, or you can send it to the email address Tommy shared: abuse@comcast.net

@XfinityAngie​ Ya wanna know somethin' strange? I forwarded the spam email, headers included. Then I get an alert from "Xfinity Alerts" that says thank you, then an email from "Xfinity Email" with a, a non delivery report? What the soap happened there? It did get delivered, right?

Annabelle2, I wouldn't be able to see if it was delivered since I don't work in that department. I would recommend calling them to see if they can tell you more. That number is 1-888-565-4329
