There are a few situations here. 1. You are a business customer with a static IP, and are entitled to send/receive SMTP by your ISP (Comcast) 2. You are a business/residential customer who is allowed to send (not likely allowed to receive) SMTP and you have a domain elsewhere to receive replies to your email 3. You are a business/residential customer who is NOT allowed to send SMTP except for your ISP (Comcast) provided email. Only you would know which on for sure is you, but it is very likely #3. The advice provided previously is for case #1 - contact Comcast and inform them that your contracted services are not working because of .... and you will need to beable to work with them on testing and suggesting fixes. They have a dedicated support phone number (which they provided you if you are actually a #1 type customer - e.g. gigabit pro, metro Ethernet, etc.) In case you are a #2 or #3 type customer, you may want to use a smart host configuration - e.g. define('SMART_HOST','[smtp.comcast.net]') . For postfix, use relayhost = [smtp.comcast.net] . Now when you send mail to that relay it will relay it. This is provided you are entitled to have your email relayed - contact Xfinity customer service for help there. If using this relay does not work, please post the exchange starting with the HELO (check your maillog or do it by hand with telnet). -- Jason Pyeron | Architect PD Inc | 10 w 24th St | Baltimore, MD | .com: jpyeron at pdinc.us tel : 202-741-9397
