Comcast mail problems

I know this just can't be only me having problems. On all 3 of my computers using Windows live mail I suddenly can not send any email. I can receive email just fine. I call Comcast and in their infinite wisdom they want $50+ just to have someone tell me what is wrong. I respectfully decline (actually I said hell no and hung up on them!). I check and find out that if I use Comcasts horrible mail program it works OK and that my new Live mail address also works. Only the Comcast emails don't work. I went online and found out someone had the exact same problem with the exact same Comcast setting that I have. They were told to use server port 587 instead of port 25 and for some reason that fixes the whole problem. I have no idea what Comcast did two days ago but it sure screwed me up until I found that solution.
