Exclamation Mail Server Blocked by Comcast

I just received an email saying that my server has been blocked by comcast for suspected spam which I know is not from my site as I have only been emailing one comcast user back and forth. Can this be fixed? Here is the message I received: (I removed personal email information)

My experience found the more useful solution is to follow the links within the bounce and there is a final step with contacting comcast which worked for us. We had ourselves removed before we could get our ticket explained properly to HG. This was over 6 months ago, so things may have changed since then.

George, if that was for your dedicated server, you were in a better situation to deal with a third party than people on HG shared servers.

I should have added that I am on a Shared Server.

Actually this was while we were still on a reseller server. Since being on a dedicated we have not had the problem and it definitely would be easier to solve should it occur
(note) No blacklists except for the APEWS listing that snagged all of The Planet of course!

I had this same problem a few weeks ago on a reseller server, HostGator resolved it though for me.
