problem recieving mail from Comcast
I've done a bunch of experiments and even set up DKIM signing for outgoing mail, but this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. My friends can send mail to and from other destinations and so can I. I see no evidence that it's being bounced as spam. The only error message is "Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently". There's also a header, X-Authority-Analysis, which I think is a Comcast header but it doesn't provide any useful information
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to debug this problem?
Thanks.

I am assuming that you are able to receive mail from other networks. If you are not seeing even a connection attempt from Comcast at the time the message was sent, here are some possibilities:
Your firewall is blocking Comcast's mail servers
You have multiple MXs listed in DNS for your domain, and some of them do not have mail servers listening
The name of your mail server (e.g., mail.example.net) resolves to multiple IP addresses, and some of these addresses do not have mail servers listening
The name of your mail server resolves to an AAAA (IPv6) address, but Postfix is not configured to listen on IPv6
Comcast is just refusing to deliver to your system for some reason
