Solved. (was Re: Comcast SMTP / Thunderbird woes)

[Mike Gorse]

I called comcast earlier to ask about it and was told that the block was 
coming frolm hotmail and that they had a virus in their system and were 
blocking emails.  Apparently other people are able to email people with 
hotmail addresses, so I'm wondering if what the tech told me was 
accurate.  If that were the case, then I'd expect to get a bounce, not a 
"permit denied" error.
