Can I get port 25 unblocked again?

A few months I had posted here about, and was helped with, getting port 25 unblocked for incoming connections for my IP/account.  Everything had been working fine since then, until I changed the xfinity data speed plan for my account.  After making this change, (I went from 200mbs down to 75mbs down), it seems that the port 25 block has come back.  

This is my original post where I was assisted with getting 25 unblocked originally:

https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/email/how-many-calls-does-it-take-to-get-port-25-unblocked-and-my-email-server-back-online

Since the block has returned, it has been suggested to me that I contact CSA, since they are the ones that handle this.  If you read my previous thread, youl see these attempts were less than fruitful at the time.  This time has not yielded different results. 

So I am hoping can someone monitoring this forum help me again again with getting this port unblocked?

I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you for any help.

again.  I dont know how else to repeat this.  I do not use it for outgoing email.  Only incoming, to which what you are saying is irrelevant.  Thus the inept thing.

But thank you for wrapping up my point in a single post.

@user_vj1302​  So you say.  Your adverse reaction to an inbound relay suggests otherwise.

Bye.  You figure it out.

As you point out, all outbound smtp traffic from all Comcast IPs is blocked.  So port 25 would be moot in that case.  So Im not really sure what you could possibly be insinuating.  The relay really makes no sense to me in any case.  At that point why not just have an externally hosted server?  My point is I dont want an externally hosted server, relay or whatever else they decide to call themselves. 

This is a legitimate use case, with which Ive had no issues for a decade.  

This forum is as useless as most others on the internet.  They dont pretend to be a front for customer service atleast. 

I couldnt imagine wanting to voluntarily hang out here for 866 messages.
