This causes more problems than it helps

Blocking the standard email port is wrong. How do you send email then? Sure comcast could change the port you use to send but that screws you for any other SMTP server out there. Then what's to stop a spammer from just hitting the new port?

This may give you break in the short term but once spammers catch on that you've just moved the door they will be right back where you started
