I just got a report that comcast is simply discarding all email
containing URLs shortened with our easyURL  shortening service
(easyURL[dot]net).

No bounce, no refusal to accept, just accepting and then discarding.

Anybody else confirm this with other URL shortening services or are we
just the lucky ones?

Yes. I can confirm. And it appears to be *content filtering*. Anything
with a URL containing easyurl.net appears to be getting the ixnay.
