You should be seeing the comcast mail servers in the headers as shown below:

My Sendmail.mc contains:
FEATURE(`mailertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable.db')dnl

sendmail.cf has the following entries:

Kmailertable hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable.db
R< $+ > $*              $: < $(mailertable $1 $) > $2   lookup

###  Ruleset 90 -- try domain part of mailertable entry         ###
R$* <$- . $+ > $*       $: $1$2 < $(mailertable .$3 $@ $1$2 $@ $2 $) > $4
R$* < $* > $*           $: < $(mailertable . $@ $1$2 $) > $3    try "."
R< $* > $*              $@ $2                           no mailertable match
