Ranting at me was unnecessary, Ed.  I wasn't saying that Comcast is a  
wonderful service.  I was just responding to the assertion that  
Comcast blocks port 25 for everyone.  Clearly they aren't blocking it  
on my service.

Just another data point.

My understanding from another list is that the current problem is due  
to a timing issue between Comcast's servers and Mail.app sending out  
your password.
