No more "domain helper" on Comcast?

I just looked at my account, and there is no longer any option to turn it on or off anymore. I'd had this spam generator turned off, but now the control no longer shows up.

Was it Comcast that is selling interests in A&E, etc channels they acquired in a purchase?

No longer used by Comcast, they announced it was shutting down back in January, [blog.comcast.com].

Good to know. I kept turning it off in the settings and it would never take.

Surprised they shut it down instead of making it mandatory. I got pissed with them last year because mine was stuck on even though my prefs were to have it off.

Shut down because they replaced it with DNSSEC, [blog.comcast.com],, as linked to in the blog entry I provided in my first post.
