When I try to send an email, I get the following:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: babysitter question',
Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Try the super secret Comcast port 587 setting... that we post several times
a day...

follow the last steps... starting with 10.

Comcast is trying to make users switch to a different port number, but has
been rather poor at telling their users about this. See if this helps:
