smtp.comcast.net -- Seamonkey does appear to be communing with this server, but never complains or completes. The port is 587. This is known to work from other newsreaders running on the present computer. > See: <http://www.serversmtp.com/en/smtp-comcast> or contact your ISP for > the proper settings.

I did look at the error console, but saw no NNTP or SMTP protocol chit-chat.
