Are you on the list more than once?  Look at the Received: headers to see
if you can see what the end recipient address was.

Comcast isn't generally banned although there are plenty of banned comcast
addresses.  This could well be that there are hundreds of thousands of
zombie servers running on comcast's network.  I've seen numbers from AOL
that said that comcast accounted for about 1/3 of the zombies attempting to
send to AOL addresses.

FWIW:  The preferred address is filepro-list at lists.celestial.com.  The old
filepro-list at seaslug.org is still supported, but its use is deprecated.
This has been updated recently on the fptech web site as well.
