Since you are using comcast for POP you don't need sendmail running.
Since you haven't touched it it could also be vulnerable to exploits. You
probably also have portmaper running and it should be shutoff as well due
to it's exstensive security history. Running both of these on a cable
modem is just asking to get rooted, unless your firewall is blocking
access. They should still be turned off.
