Comcast Email Failure: Other Victims?

I recently discovered that Comcast, my ISP/Email Server has failed to transmit numerous emails both to and from my account. Oddly, I have received no notification of any problem from Comcast. These failures (for me) represent a small percentage of the total emails associated with my account. The absolute number is well over thirty, but I have no way of knowing with certainty. Comcast is denying responsibility. My problem appears to have started in mid-May. Sent items show up normally in your "Sent Items" box (name depends on email client; I happen to use Outlook Express). Items ostensibly delivered to you have no trace nor notification, i.e you have not a clue until someone complains to you that you are ignoring them. The symptoms of my dilemma are strikingly similar to those described in the debacle that besieged England's ISP, Tiscali last month. Here's The Telegraph's story about Tiscali's crisis.

Has anyone else with Comcast as their ISP/email server had problems with their email being sent or delivered?
