I have Comcast, and I'm using Mail.app as my e-mail client.  I just  
checked, and it is set to port 25.  Despite that, I am not  
experiencing any problem sending or receiving e-mail.  A couple of  
weeks ago I got the prompt to put in my user name and password that  
everyone else got, but just hitting Cancel back then caused my e-mail  
to be delivered.
