Actually, you can still use SPF in this case, since Comcast has their own 
SPF record. There is a special syntax for saying basically "any server in 
domainX's SPF record can also send mail 'from' my domain". 

The actual txt record looks like: 

v=spf1 <snip> include:comcast.net ~all 

Here's a nice little site for building your SPF record that my registrar 
actually suggested:
