For the past two days I have been trying to verify my email address with
Messenger Live. I triple checked the email address, disabled the SPAM
filters in the Web application and still I don't receive any email from
microsoft asking me to click ont hesacred link to verify the email.
I had a friend try it, and his worked right away.
Why am I getting "fr33 S_E_X1!" emails while the MSN email just won't get
through?
Comcast support is obviously no help. They're saying its Microsoft.
Ebay, gets through perfectly. Paypal - OK. even my IRC nicknames -
neswletters get through.

Does Comcast have an online email page where you can read mail and set
user preferences - possibly including spam/junk settings ? If so, I
would check it out and see if there's a way to force email trough from
a given domain or turn off a filter that could be stopping your email
from getting through. If the have a spam/junk log, you might be able to
determine if indeed they are stopping the M$ email if you find it there.

I know you can at least set the delete time on mail boxes, but not sure
about their filtering capabilities.
