To which IP, and was it over IPv4 or IPv6?
Telnet test works fine from here:
$ host mx1h1.comcast.net.
mx1h1.comcast.net has address 96.102.157.178
mx1h1.comcast.net has IPv6 address 2001:558:fd02:243f::2
aiverson@s1:~$ nc 96.102.157.178 25
220 resimta-h1p-037526.sys.comcast.net
resimta-h1p-037526.sys.comcast.net ESMTP server ready
(Didn't hang up on me; I did a quick and dirty send test and it worked fine.)

I'm assuming the IP is a new/current one based on every public DNS I
test showing that as a current IP. If we were waiting out TTLs or if
somebody was caching beyond best practices, we'd be getting varying
results.

I don't use IPv6, so I don't have an easy way to test it today. So if
you're coming in on IPv6 and having issues that I'm not having, maybe
they have an IPv6 issue or can't resolve your DNS.

Or if IPv4, are you sure you're not connecting from an IP considered
to be dynamic and/or on lists of IPs that "shouldn't be running mail
servers" like the Spamhaus PBL?

Cheers,
Al
