You specificly tell 'inbound' ... by that you mean the MX record was 
added. But just to be sure. Comcast is also sending out over IPv6 now 
right? And if so, what protocol is preferred by default? Outgoing mail 
over IPv4 or over IPv6?

Watching logs here to see if things (at least mail for me now) will raise 
the next few days...

Bye,
Raymond.
