Long story -- short version is that I can't configure outlook/outlook express to send email from my comcast account because apparently Comcast blocks ports 25 (and 587), and I haven't been able to find out which one I'm supposed to use.

Comcast blockes access to their smtp server from non-comcast IP addresses.

Aw man, I could have totally asked a friend in our enhanced customer care area, given you an answer as if I knew it, and totally looked all smart and helpful.

m_p_h: that makes sense. It seems like it might have the potential for abuse.

Nope, if they have it configured to accept it, they don't care.
