Xfinity email server issuing unsolicited and bogus spam reports

Every time I send to multiple people at a single destination email address, Xfinity, without cause, starts issuing bogus spam email reports, sending them to my email inbox.  The actual emails go through to the destination email address. 

I've called Xfinity multiple times.  They refuse to fix the problem, claiming that my email address has been flagged as producing spam; that my emails are being rejected by the destination server.  This is false.  Xfinity is generating the bogus spam email reports, not the destination server.

Hey there user_6slvob, and happy Friday! I appreciate you stopping by to outline the trouble you're having with your outbound emails, so we'll do everything we can to help 👍 If your email has already been flagged by our system as producing spam, then that would be under the discretion of our Customer Security Assurance (CSA) team.

 

Whenever issues like this come up, we encourage people to connect with our CSA team directly at 888-565-4329 any day of the week between 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. ET. as they're a special team designated with overseeing digital security as it pertains to customer accounts or emails. Have you spoken with anyone from that team specifically at this point?

Have you tried creating an email filter @user_6slvob?

One quick workaround you could try right now is setting up an email filter. If you jump into your Xfinity Connect webmail settings, you can create a rule that sends any "Delivery Status Notification" or "Spam Report" emails directly to a specific folder, so they stop cluttering your main inbox.

Are you telling me that Comcast/xfinity is incapable of fixing a problem being created by their servers?

I signed into my account.  By following your instructions, Comcast decides what I do and do not receive.  That is not acceptable given the problem I've outlined here that is due to a problem with Comcast/Xfinity email software that they can't seem to fix.  How many legitimate emails will Comcast/Xfinity simply decide I don't need to see?  I don't need that headache either.

As mentioned, our Customer Security Assurance (CSA) team has the specialized tools needed to clear false-positive flags on email accounts, so they will be your best direct contact. However, you can also report the issue Here if that is easier for you!

I get to choose from a drop-down list; none of which addresses the problem that Comcast/Xfinity is creating.  Understand, this is not my problem.  This is Comcast/Xfinity's problem; Comcast/Xfinity has created this problem.  FIX IT!  And stop sending me bogus SPAM reports!

... they are being generated by XFinity IP 196.103.146.27 ...

Note that this IP address is not assigned to Comcast/Xfinity, it's assigned to Safaricom in Kenya. See https://afrinic.net/whois.
