Actually, http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=SecurityMail_Policy18627
links you to
http://www.comcastsupport.com/rbl
aka
http://www.comcastsupport.com/sdcxuser/lachat/user/Blockedprovider.asp

That form does not indicate that only Comcast users may use it. Its
target is actually administrators of an IP address whose mail got
blocked.

I've used it before, and it has actually worked for me.
