No, why do you think that follows?  Blocking port 25 simply means that
you can't spam without going through Comcast.  If they thought that
charging money made sense, they'd simply charge you for throughput on
that port, or maybe by the SYN packet.

Anyway, this is way off topic, and I'm going to shut up now on this
list.  If people have a more appropriate forum, I'd happily accept an
invite.
