Bernard,
As far as I can see the settings for comcast smtp-server in your
pskmailrc.pl should be:
$relay = "smtp.comcast.net";
$smtptlsuser = "user.name";
$smtptlspass = "*password*";
$smtptlsport = 587;
In this case user.name should be the first part of your comcast
mailaddress, so if the mailaddress is bernard.dekok@xxxxxxxxxxx you need to
enter bernard.dekok {not bernard.dekok\@comcast.net}. The password should
be the same you use for logging on to the webmail server.
Hope this helps! [Info adjusted from
