Also, I got 2 test emails from the Comcast technician today, so it appears they are still working on it.

At your Freehostia account? That sounds like a good sign.
Sorry! I wasn't totally clear; they sent me a message from a gmail account, not a Comcast account.

Also, I am glad you recommended sending from the Comcast webmail I will be using that from now on to avoid other problems.

I was frantically trying to get a DMARK/SPF record up because of what Comcast said. Freehostia's cpanel actually has a menu item called "SPF Manager" and I thought it'd be safer for a novice like me to click on that instead of creating a DNS record myself. And when I clicked on it, it had a field for an IP addresss and I thought I HAD to put one in there ...so I grabbed the IP address form the A record listed in DNS records list from anthonytonini.com. I figured since I never touched the DNS records in anthonytonini.com, the IP must be correct - I didn't understand what I was doing (and am still figuring it out :-)).

So this morning I just removed the IP address from the SPF record and hopefully, I'll research the SPF later - for now, I think it's a valid record, but a lax policy.

So the IP address should be the IP address of the sending server? I'll research it more ...thanks for ALL the great info!
