This server sends automated emails on nightly code builds to the internet w/o 
relay.  My postfix config lists my no-ip.com DNS as the hostname, which I 
replaced with myhost.example.com below.

Here's a received-from header for a test I just sent to my yahoo account.  I 
blanked out actual data :

from 67.xxx.xxx.xxx (EHLO myhost.example.com) (67.xxx.xxx.xxx) by 
mta117.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; Sat, 07

So, yahoo accepted it, but it did get routed to my 'Bulk' folder.  Here's 
another header:

X-YahooFilteredBulk:	 67.xxx.xxx.xxx

So it's getting filtered based on comcast network IP.  I don't use it for 
general use - only as a communication tool with my developers. 

My only point was that it is possible to send SMTP mail from the comcast 
network.
