#1: Servers have a limit on how many recipients you can send to at one time. You may be exceeding the limit. Try breaking it down to a few groups & contact Comcast to find out the exact number of recipients they allow.

#2: Change the SMTP port to 587 and make sure: My Server Requires Authentication is checked.

How do I set up/configure Outlook Express, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail for Comcast email?
