Even more funny and interesting:
My Thunderbird wants to know if the Comcast email is a scam. I'm
thinking yes!
After I received the Comcast email this morning, I sent the earlier
email to CGUYS and an email to myself at the Comcast address. Obviously
gmail is working because CGUYS got the mail. I have not received the one
I sent to my Comcast address.
Also, the last message I sent from the guilty account was in March of
last year.

In the context of this discussion, it's funny that I received the

I'm on an iMac using Thunderbird for email and I do send emails to
groups of people sometimes. I have Comcast for internet, there is really
no choice here, but I email exclusively through gmail.
1) They have falsely accused you of a crime.
2) They say they are blocking outgoing SMTP on port 25, changing it to
port 587 instead. This would be effective against the most simpleminded
email bots.
3) If you are using Thunderbird (even with GMail) you do use port 25 for
SMTP. So you will need to change the port in your account settings.
