Well, I just received this from Return Path:
-------
Thank you for contacting us.
In order to obtain more information about the abusive user, you may
implement a tracking ID, Please see the information below
that is provided in the Comcast FAQ page:
"The ISP may redact parts of the original message to protect the privacy
of their users. In the event an ISP redacts subscriber email addresses
from their feedback loop messages, you should incorporate a tracking ID
unique to the recipient's record in your database and your messages so
that you can process the removals. You can add this ID in the body of
the message or add an "X" header in the header of the message. An
example of this could be "X-SenderName-ClientID: 543432".

I find it rather disturbing that one of the major vendors of spam
filtering services does things in such a non-standards-compliant way.
Everyone else (well, AOL, Yahoo, the other "big boys") seem to return
message-id along with an FBL notice. Return Path seems to filter it out.
That's just painful.
Sigh.

That's the thing. I DO VERP our SMTP envelopes, but Comcast's FBL

Addresses are not the VERPed address, or even the recipient address.
They seem to be an obfuscated version of the LIST address. Not really
helpful.
As far as I can tell, there is NOTHING in the abuse report that can be
associated with either the final recipient or a message-id that would
let me locate the message in our outgoing logs (from which, given
VERP, I could find the recipient).
Based on other comments, I sent a query to Return Path - I'm half
expecting that they'll offer to sell me the info, or a slot on their
whitelist.
Sigh...

Is there anybody here from Comcast mail operations who can
provide some guidance as to how to identify the originator of an
abuse report, so I can remove them from the list(s)?
If you VERP the SMTP envelope sender address, that should help you
out. It comes back embedded in the report as "Original-Mail-From:"
