Yeah... use "Smart" relay host for outgoing mail.

I.e.: in your /etc/sendmail.cf, you need a line like:
	> # "Smart" relay host (may be null)
	> DSsmtp.comcast.net

FYI: other services blocking mail from dynamic ip address (which Comcast
thoughtfully publishes for the world to block) include:
		hotmail.com
		*.rr.com
		pacbell.net
		earthlink.net
		ncs.com
		airmail.net
		qwest.net
		mindspring.com

Hope this helps,
