We'd need the text that goes along with the error code, as 421 is associated with several different error conditions, ex:

  • 421 - Too many sessions opened
  • 421 - Reverse DNS failure
  • 421 - Try again later

See https://postmaster.comcast.net/smtp-error-codes.php#421.

CSI in the error message means the listed IP is blocked by Cloudmark Sender Intelligence. 172.102.178.157 is assigned to Ellijay Telephone Company / ETC Communications (see https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-172-102-160-0-1). Please see https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Email-Web-Browsing/Can-t-Send-Emails-from-PC-or-Phone-App/m-p/3355422#M219767. Are you using a VPN?

Are you trying to send while using another ISP?

I had similar issues recently when on McAfee VPN that I just started in December. Thought I'd post what worked for me. When on VPN, sometimes I could not send, but always received. It's Comcast ISP and Comcast.net email.

 

Identified the specific issue: when the VPN was set to 'fastest connection' or words like that, sometimes it would use a foreign location. Last week I saw that it said 'Toronto, Canada' as the location, and it would not send. Sometimes it would say NY or Virginia and emails would send.

 

So I set the VPN to be USA location and it has worked fine now for a week.

 

Not sure if that was the fix, or if it was something else because i had been revisiting email account settings in Outlook via Microsoft 365 when it would not send. That said, since tweaking the McAfee VPN location it has worked just fine.
