It would be nice if Comcast users on this list would post where they're 
located and whether they have port 25 blocked.  This would be especially 
useful to me since I'm moving come Sept, and would like to know if it's 
open in Brighton.  Since this issue has come up quite often on the list, 
it'd be even more useful to linux geeks if the BLU kept this information 
on the website so new linux users to the area could check it out before 
purchasing their service.  It would also be interesting to see if 
there's any trends as to where they block 25 and where they don't.  
Blocking port 25 is reason enough for me to not get Comcast where I'm 
living.  However, I'm single, renting, and think that Comcast's customer 
service is a joke so I don't have much holding me back from looking 
elsewhere.

I live in Teele Square, have Comcast, don't have port 25 blocked, and 
have to relay mail through smtp.comcast.net in order to not be 
blacklisted for dynamic ips.

If other users would post this information as well, it'd be a great 
resource.

Thanks,
