I use comcast to get online (from home) but I do not use their mail 
server.  I either use the earthlink pop server for incoming mail and the 
earthlink smtp server for outgoing mail or the smtp server at my 
webhosting service.  I use port 587, I use SuSE and Thunderbird and 
infrequently seamonkey for mail, or I use my Mac.  So using comcast is 
possible, but possibly not for their smtp server.  Expect them to be 
brain-dead vis a vis tech support.
