Have you made sure to use a secure outgoing connection on the correct port (587)?

Also check SSL / Encryption / Password settings for the SMTP. You may want to call comcast too

Have you made sure to use a secure outgoing connection on the correct port (587)? This and not using SSL is what I believe solved my problem.
