Seriously, 250 is the SMTP +OK code so your mail is good to go. My guess  
is it's getting rejected somewhere down the line.

A couple of things you might check:

	SMTP HELO is often used to determine authorization
	to relay mail, and it should be the domain you're
	sending mail from. So from your example I guess you
	want comcast.net.

	Most SMTP accounts don't require username/password,
	and if they do you'll need to specify an auth type
	too. Check out your account settings in your mailer
	to see what you want to use. It's the last arg to
	Net::SMTP.start.

Hope that helps,
