   Daryl... Comcast only blocks port 25 and as such you're going to have to setup   
   a redirect to another port on your system via a service.  I personally use   
   NO-IP that redirects port 25 to port 465 on my system. In SBBS Sendmail tab, I   
   use a relay server (Smtp.comcast.net) with a Submission port of 587. Under the   
   "RELAY" tab, I use my Comcast email address with password. Now you can still   
   use port 110 to log into SBBS mail server and pick up mail remotely using the   
   BBS login name and password.
