Subject: Anyone from Proof Point or Comcast on this list?

It seems we are having trouble sending e-mail to some Comcast customers
and getting a relaying denied message, even though the mail should be
being accepted, not relayed.

Below is a copy of a transcript.  Could someone from Proof Point or
Comcast e-mail please contact me to resolve this?
