Hi Rich, 

I run a server off my comcast drop at home. I haven't had any problems
sending mail. If you have a yahoo account address, I'll throw off a test
mail to see what happens. We can compare notes. 

My setup is real simple:

* postfix -- only accepting connections from localhost
* "smart hosts" relay to smtp.comcast.net
* the hostname on my server is resolvable
  -- last year when I rebuilt my server, I think having the resolvable
hostname was the key to getting my mail through to everybody...
