I  don't mean to butt in rudely, but:


From the Comcast manual:

<snip>...
"How to configure Pegasus to send and receive E-mail *while traveling*:
This FAQ guides you in setting up Pegasus to be able to send and receive
E-Mail from a *remote location, such as a hotel, office or any other
non-Comcast connection*. "

"Make sure that the Server host name is set to *smtp.comcast.net*, and that
the *Server TCP/IP port* is set to *587*. "

"Select the Security tab at the top and place a check in the box
labelled *Login
to the SMTP server using a POP3 username/password*"
</snip>

Authentication for Comcast mailservers is only needed in case one is using
an external network [So you can leave authentication off when directly
connected to a Comcast connection.]

... But when you are on a non Comcast network and want to use the comcast
mailserverm not only authentication needs to be done, but you should be able
to set non-standard ports for smtp as well...

A small Potfix server could be a relief for people who cannot reach ANY
server they can use without authentication... :)

Just my 2 cents...

Auth could be good. I can include an smtp server, postfix, on the cd,
