   What's a cost-effective way around this?  Dump Comcast for an
   un-blocked service?  Buy a static IP from Comcast (I can't even
   figure out how, their marketing website is useless)?  Buy service
   at a web-hosting company somewhere?  Throw in the towel and relay
   all my email through Comcast, where it can be readily monitored by
   nefarious corporate and/or government entities who do NOT have
   consumer privacy-interests in mind?

They can already monitor your IP packets just fine if they want.
Running your own outbound mailer doesn't give you any more privacy
than relaying through Comcast.
