can't forward to comcast.net?

I was trying to set up an email address in Dreamhost, to forward to a comcast.net email address. I get the error message "Cannot forward to comcast.net" (or something like that).

I was wondering why this cannot be done, and is there any way around it, short of making my client use a different email? Or at least if I know why, I can explain it to them, and then get them to use something else.

Comcast might be blocking email from DreamHost.

Insist they use their domain.com email address because replying from n00b@comcast.net to an email that was addressed to name@company.com is unprofessional. Or something smile

It's an old Status post. Comcast and AOL are really heavy-handed in dealing with spam and blacklist anything in the path. Hence, DreamHost is tired of being blacklisted by them and disabled forwards.
