Are running your own exchange server or one hosted by Comcast?

If you are running your own, then in whatever DNS servers are authoritative for your domain you will need to set up the following:

• an A record for the hostname of your exchange server which points to the static IP address
• an MX record for your domain that points to the hostname of the exchange server
• an SRV record that includes the autodiscover priority, port, and hostname where the autodiscover information can be found
• and contact support to set up the reverse lookup PTR record that maps your static IP address back to the hostname.

Also, if you're running your own exchange server, you can contact support have them unblock port 25 for inbound SMTP connections so that your server can actually receive incoming email.  Outgoing messages should still be submitted to the mail server by way of port 587 which has become the standard mail submission port.

If you are using Comcast's DNS servers, I believe you can manage many of the DNS records via the account management -> manage services -> internet -> view DNS settings, but I don't know since I actually run my own DNS servers.  Check it out, but the Comcast support people should be able to help out.  If you run your own servers or use a third party DNS service, then you'll have to work out how to add those records with that vendor.
