Anyone from Proof Point or Comcast on this list?

comcast.com is their corporate mail domain

comcast.net is their customer domain

Both have entirely different mx hosts and won’t relay mail for each other.

Subject: Anyone from Proof Point or Comcast on this list?

It seems we are having trouble sending e-mail to some Comcast customers
and getting a relaying denied message, even though the mail should be
being accepted, not relayed.

Below is a copy of a transcript.  Could someone from Proof Point or
Comcast e-mail please contact me to resolve this?
