emails sent to comcast accounts being rejected

As the President of a small non-profit organization, I use a Microsoft supplied email account that ends in .onmicrosoft.com for company business.  Emails sent from this account are being rejected with the following reply:

resimta-a2p-650768.sys.comcast.net rejected your message to the following email addresses:

xxxxxxxx@comcast.net
Your message was rejected by the recipient email server. Please check the recipient's email address and try resending your message or contact the recipient directly. For more tips to help resolve this issue, see DSN code 5.1.0 in Exchange Online - Office 365. If the problem continues, contact your email admin.

resimta-a2p-650768.sys.comcast.net gave this error:
<xxx@obinh.onmicrosoft.com> sender rejected

This has happened with messages sent to one of my Directors, one of my volunteers and even my personal Comcast email address.

user_52t1la Thanks for creating a post. For these types of email issues, I would recommend speaking with our Customer Security Assurance team (https://spa.xfinity.com/help/postmaster), where you can review a FAQ for postmaster issues or report an issue to have their team investigate further.

I appreciate the answer.  I had difficulty answering technical questions that I do not know how to answer.  Why not simply let me submit the error report that I received?

I eventually figured out the terminology and submitted a report.  The answer that I got back was that the IP address was not being blocked.  Apparently, the problem is that the domain is being blocked by Comcast.  So far, I haven't found where to submit for resolution of a blocked domain.

I'm having the same issue, as my firm cannot send emails to any comcast.net email addresses, but our IP addresses have no issues.  Rather it seems that our domain is being blocked by comcast, but we're a small local firm, so this doesn't make any sense. How do we request that comcast unblock our domain?

The link provided above is the main online option for submitting any requests with that team. Otherwise, calling our main customer service number at 1-800-934-6489 and asking for Customer Security Assurance is the other option. If you are having issues with both of those options we can reach out to our contact within that team to open a request. But typically the online and phone options are the quicker resolution.

Have you been able to contact the security team about that blocked domain issue?

Eventually, I got this escalated to (I think it was Customer Security Assurance Level 3) to someone who understands the issue.  His answer was that the *.onmicrosoft.com domain is blocked and Comcast is not going to unblock it.  The explanation was something that I didn't fully understand about a Microsoft pub stating that *.onmicrosoft.com email accounts are not intended for sending external emails.  (Microsoft never mentioned anything about this when I signed up for Microsoft 365 for nonprofits.)  The result is that I can send email from my Microsoft account to all my volunteers and Directors (e.g. Gmail) except those with Comcast accounts.  (We are a small faith-based non-profit who helps people with needs in the Seacoast New Hampshire region.  Microsoft supports us by providing cost-free licenses for Microsoft 365.  (Thank you, Microsoft, your support is greatly appreciated.)
