Can this help you!
1. Configure outbound email to smtp.comcast.net, but on port 587, not
the default port 25.
2. You must use password authentication for outbound/SMTP. Unless
you're using your ISP's web mail, you probably forgot your username and
password, so you'll have to call the ISP to get them.
3. Do not use SSL.
Last chance!!

Subject: [pskmail] Comcast.net blocking outbound mail.
Hi,
I am tired of trying all kinds of combinations of smtp servers to get my
mail out.
Especially on Gmail.com
My ISP is Comcast.net
According to various blogs they are notorious for blocking ports to mail
servers in residential areas.
They want all mail to go outbound through their smtp server,
smtp.comcast.net
This to thwart spammers, but they are also throwing out the baby with the
bath water. - US !
We are not here to spam, but to set up a radio email system that could be
used well in emergencies, such as natural disasters, wide area Internet
outages, etc. etc.
Sooo, I also tried all kinds of combinations for my outbound mail with
smtp.comcast.net.... No luck !
Short of changing my ISP, what do I do ?
Who knows how to set up the PSKMail server for working outbound with
Comcast.net as ISP ?
This could be a show stopper....
A case of beer if you can help.
