If OE moves the message to the Sent Items folder, that means that OE got
confirmation from your mail server that it accepted the message. An
exception to this would be if your anti-virus software is scanning
outgoing mail. In that case, the anti-virus impersonates the mail
server and tells OE that the message has been accepted even though it
has not yet and might never be sent to the mail server.

As long as your anti-virus software is set to scan files as they are
opened, scanning e-mail as it downloads or sends is unnecessary and
prone to problems.

With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs, simply disabling the
e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it. It simply tells the
program not to flag any messages. It still processes all the messages
and may still cause send/receive failures. What you may need to do is
uninstall the anti-virus program, then reinstall it using a custom
install option and unselect the e-mail scanning component for
installation.

If the anti-virus is not the problem, then somewhere else along the way
the message is being filtered out. This could be the recipient's mail
service or their own anti-virus or anti-spam software or mail client
filtering.

Is it particular recipients that are not receiving your mail?

If you are using a signature and/or stationery, turn those off and see
if it makes any difference.

If the issue is when sending attachments, that could suggest your
anti-virus is the culprit if you can attach the same files to Comcast
web mail and they are properly received.
