Comcast Blocking Overseas server

I live part time overseas and have an internet account with a provider.  Periodically I have problems with accessing e-mail both from my computer and phone through this provider via hard wired or wifi.  I get this message: 

The server for account "XXXXXX (i included the x's to keep account secure" returned the error "[ALERT] Temporarily blacklisted IP Address - try again later." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?.

I am able to connect if i use a VPN with a US based access or if i access using a mobile provider.  Is this temporary and ultimately resolve or do i need to contact Xfinity directly to see about resolving this.

Thanks
