Is SMPT outgoing server down or having issues?

The outgoing email for my comcast account, using smtp.comcast.net on my iPhone stopped working today. I have no problem receiving emails but outgoing emails just sit in the "outgoing" folder. When I tried reentering my password in the apple mail setting it just displays "verifying" endlessly now as if the server is not responding. Is the comcast server down?

i am encountering delayed smtp mail delivery since this morning (August 31, 2026 PT).  As of right now, 345p, the comcast smtp server is not responding.

Hello user_zf0akl thanks so much for adding your voice to the conversation here on our Xfinity Forums! Are you also using Apple Mail like the OP, or a different mail server? Are you able to log in to ourXfinity Email site and send/receive messages with no issues?
