Does your connection to the outgoing mail server cross over from
one internet provider's equipment to another's before it reaches the
server? Travelling to where you use a different internet provider
often does this. Also, using a wireless connection can do this if
it suddenly starts using a neighbor's wireless server instead of your
own. If it does cross over, many email providers block such
connections to port 25 and I think I've seen a mesage saying
Comcast blocks them if they go to port 587 as well.

If you have a crossover connection, you may want to check if
Comcast allows a webmail connection, which uses yet another
port.
